Culture Break: Danish String Quartet: Tjønneblomen/Annbjørg Lien: Tjønneblomen

This is one of my favorites from their album Last Leaf. In fact, it seems to be a favorite for others as well -- Annbjørg Lien included it on at least one album.


And here's Lien's version, from a concert performance:


From the description: Annbjørg Lien on hardingfele (Hardanger fiddle) with Bjørn Ole Rasch on keyboards. From a concert in the 800 years old Fiskum Old Church in Øvre Eiker, Buskerud. Broadcast in the NRK program "Ut i naturen: Sommernattas symfoni", January 1, 2007.


So, Happy New Year.
