Didier François
Falling Tree
$17.99

A selection of modern, intelligent interpretations of traditional Swedish folk music by Belgian composer-musician Didier François using the traditional Swedish nyckelharpa.
This is blended with hurdy gurdy (Gilles Chabenat), theorbo (Jan van Outryve), acoustic bass (Renaud Garcia-Fons) and duduk (Levon Minassian). And Swedish vocalist Ulrika Boden offers the warmth that makes this a must-hear musical adventure.

Listen:
Vart enda hem ar karlken
Devil's Polska
Uti friska groset grona

Falling Tree presents a selection of modern, stylish and intelligent interpretations of traditional Swedish folk music. In arrangements by the young Belgian composer-musician Didier François, familiar songs are cloaked in unusual harmonies and re-colored with a fascinating blend of instrumental timbres including the traditional Swedish nyckelharpa, (a violin-like instrument, equipped with a keyboard system), hurdy gurdy, theorbo and duduk (featuring Levon Minassian). The result is a very unusual and beautiful album, full of warm and glowing sounds.

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.
