Egeland spiller Fjeldstad is Ånon Egeland’s homage to one of his most important teachers, Sigurd Fjeldstad (1903-1984) from Tvedestrand. In this recording, Ånon plays waltzes and airs, reinlenders and reels just the way Sigurd used to: with solo fiddle or simple chord zither accompaniment. In phrasing and intonation, Ånon’s style is very close to that of his teacher, although the ornamentation is unmistakably ”Egelandian”. This gives the production a highly personal touch – a distillation of countless cups of coffee, good stories and, last but not least, masses of wonderful, unique tunes.
