PRE-ORDER - releases May 29.

Most of us can agree that music is not a competition. However, the National Championship for Norwegian Folk Music and Dance (Landskappleiken) has been an important annual event since it´s inception in 1896. In 2025, the jury deemed Helga Myhr to be Norway’s finest hardanger fiddle player, after performing tunes from her native valley Hallingdal.

  • Most of us can agree that music is not a competition. However, the National Championship for Norwegian Folk Music and Dance (Landskappleiken) has been an important annual event since it´s inception in 1896. In 2025, the jury deemed Helga Myhr to be Norway’s finest hardanger fiddle player, after performing tunes from her native valley Hallingdal.

    Since she released her solo debut “Natten veller seg ut” in 2019, Myhr has established herself as a flexible musician; at home in contemporary and improvised settings (Dei Kjenslevare, duo with Tanja Orning or in collaboration with Mats Gustafsson), as well as in a myriad of different expressions rooted in various Norwegian traditions. “Slåttespel” offers the first possibility of hearing Myhr exclusively playing traditional tunes from Hallingdal; the music she grew up playing, and that she has been working with for all her musical life.

    Myhr is performing on three different fiddles;

    Gunnar A. Røstad, 1915

    Anders C. Kleven, 1898

    Gjermund Tjønn, 1974

    …with a bow made by Niels J. Røine in 2019.

    Not only are the tunes and performance impeccable; “Slåttespel” also sounds amazing, thanks to wizards Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard (recording & mix) & Helge Sten (master).
