Gössa Anders Andersson, Gössa Anna Andersson, Orsa Fiddlers' Ensemble / If you ask Swedish folk musicians of today about major influences, one man who is often mentioned is Gössa Anders Andersson (1878-1963) from Orsa in Dalarna. Orsa has a strong and special fiddling tradition, and Gössa Anders was its foremost exponent. He paid great attention to rhythm, and his intonation was precise, including the many blue notes. This recording is a remastering of a number of 78's recorded in 1950. Most of the tunes are played solo by Gössa Anders, but on eight tracks he is backed by his daughter Gössa Anna. Orsa Fiddlers' Ensemble, of which Gössa Anders was musical leader, is heard on four tunes. Altogether the best way to get to know the beautiful world of Orsa polskas.

Please note!
 Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
