Rydvall/Mjelva: Erik Rydvall (nyckelharpa) and Olav Luksengård Mjelva (hardingfela) with a beautiful live version of the song "Fogelvikarn" from their first album "Isbrytaren" (2013). Live in concert at Gamla kyrkan, Östersund, 18 feb 2019.

Isbrytaren was recorded in Ål Church in Hallingdal together with technician Tor Magne Hallibakken. Olav was already familiar with this space and its superb acoustics. It was very inspiring to have the opportunity to sit on our own, each with our own instrument, in an impressive church with a fantastic resonance, Mjelva and Rydvall write in their cover notes. They play their own arrangements of traditional Swedish and Norwegian material on the record in addition to a few of their own compositions  .

Rydvall/Mjelva is an unusual and inspired duo collaboration between two folk musicians, one Swedish and one Norwegian. Erik Rydvall on keyed fiddle and Olav Luksengård Mjelva on Hardanger fiddle are both among the foremost folk musicians of their generation. Two inquisitive musicians with solid roots in their own traditions. The repertoires and performance styles of these two instruments are fundamentally very different, but these two musicians manage to make the combination sound both natural and intriguing. Their debut album Isbrytaren ( The Icebreaker ) was released to critical acclaim in 2013 and was awarded with both the Norwegian Folkelarm prize and Album of the year at the Swedish Folk and World music awards. Isbrytaren was also nominated to a norweigan grammy (Spellemann) as well as Manifestpriset in Sweden.

Just sent this baby to the press. Release in February! Erik Rydvall & Olav Luksengård Mjelva.
