Einar Olav Larsen and Gjermund Larsen
The Larsen brothers are young, Gjermund was born in 1981, Einar Olav in 1979. A fifteen year old photo in the booklet confirms what the music has already told us: they have always fiddled together. The material on the CD consist mainly of waltzes and pols-tunes from the region of Verdalen, east of Trondheim. Many tunes are surprisingly difficult, due to position playing, ornaments and rhythmic finesses. Influences from Swedish music can be traced; the track "Restar'n" is a variant of a well-known Bingsjöpolska.
