nosagcd 072 - VESTMANNIAENSEMBLEN - En dag på gården - Chamber music by Björn J:son Lindh


click on cover for pdf-booklet
The jazz flutist Björn J:son Lindh is well-known for his many recordings of his own music with a very personal, unique way of playing the flute. Less known are his compositions for chamber ensemble. Here we are presented first recordings of very humourous, entertaining and ear-candylike music - for example the sound of a day at the farm, the title of the CD - but also introvert, meditative and calm layed back gems of contemplation for wind quintet, piano and different combinations of those instruments. In the suite "A day at the farm" you can also hear the Swedish folklore instrument keyed fiddle, a kind of hurdy-gurdy played with a bow, like a violin, but the stops made with a mechanique like the old medevial instrument.
