Steinar Ofsdal, Per Midtstigen - Sjøfløyta

Review by Roberto Kanter

Sjøfløyta, a collaborative album by Steinar Ofsdal and Per Midtstigen, is a beautiful and compelling collection of traditional Norwegian folk music. The album features a range of instruments, including the hardanger fiddle, accordion, and of course, the sjøfløyta, a type of wooden flute commonly used in Norwegian folk music.

The musicianship on display throughout the album is truly impressive. Ofsdal and Midtstigen are both accomplished musicians with a deep understanding of traditional Norwegian music, and their playing is both technically masterful and emotionally evocative. The interplay between the different instruments is particularly impressive, with each musician complementing and enhancing the others' contributions.

The album's production is also excellent, with a warm and natural sound that perfectly captures the rich textures and nuances of the music. The arrangements are tasteful and understated, allowing the beauty of the melodies and harmonies to shine through.

About Steinar Ofsdal, Per Midtstigen

Born October 4, 1948 // Norwegian composer and flutist. Since 1967 the flutist Steinar Ofsdal has performed countless times in Norway and throughout the world. In the 1970's, when interest in traditional flutes was growing in Norway, Steinar was one of a handful of young performers who became strongly interested in the old sjøfløyte (folk recorder) tradition. Steinar was strongly inspired by the flute playing of Herleik Stuvstad (born 1897), who was the last of a long line of Numedal sjøfløyte players, and Steinar learned much from him. Seljefløyta (willow flute) has also been one of Steinar's most important instruments for over thirty years. Steinar's recordings "Sjøfløyta" (together with Per Midtstigen) and "Seljefløyta" (with Hans Fredrik Jacobsen and Hallgrim Berg) have become important source recordings for young flute players today. In his solo program "Flutes in Folk Music
