Biography
Trio Hardanger is a group of three Hardanger fiddlers. They have united to produce an album of tunes associated with the Hardanger master Halldor Meland (1884-1972). Most of the tracks on this album are solos, but on four cuts the three musicians play together. This adds further layers of complexity to the music, almost as if it is echoing back from the landscape.
The fiddlers are Knut Hamre, Ase Teigland and Frank Rolland. Hamre has been involved in a variety of musical projects, including his ambient album with American guitarist Steve Tibbetts. Hamre also taught both Teigland and Rolland when they were starting out. Of the solo tracks, Hamre plays on five, and Teigland and Rolland on six apiece.
