Annbjørg Lien Performs Anders Viken's "Huldresølvet" in Skei, Norway

Annbjørg Lien gave this wonderful fiddle performance on 23 June 1998 in Skei, Norway on the occasion of Anders Viken's (1898-1977) hundredth birthday. My maternal grandfather Anders Viken was a notable fiddler and composer of Norwegian folk music from the municipality of Jølster, Norway. He composed over 500 songs including the oft-played wedding march entitled "Jølstrabrura" (Jølster Bride) and the song performed here by Annbjørg Lien, "Huldresølvet" (The Silver Elf).

AndyHarpist - that'll be her foot! It always comes across stronger in trad music recordings than when live

IS the tapping made by the shoe or is it by the violin itself somehow?

Donegal, that's not correct! Here on KZbin you can find a video of her from landskappleiken 1982. She was ten years old then!
