Description
'Bjrnsdotter Reid - Rough and Shiny' is the much anticipated album by innovative young fiddlers Alicia Bjrnsdotter and Emma Reid. Their debut album presents traditional and contemporary fiddle music from Sweden and the British Isles. When Emma and Alicia take on a tune, they launch into a playful chase. The two fiddles bend and tease, take a turn, and then one follows smoothly the other. Elegant polskas are flavoured with blue notes and raw counter-melodies, and the arrangements for two fiddles give a Swedish touch to compositions by Chris Wood and Robert Harbron.
Alicia Bjrnsdotter and Emma Reid are part of the emerging generation of new fiddlers in Sweden. While being deeply versed in traditional Swedish dance music, they skillfully merge other styles and techniques into a personal sound. Emma and Alicia both have a performance degree in traditional Swedish music from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and Emma has also completed a Master in Music at Newcastle University. Alongside Swedish music, the vibrant fiddle tradition of the Shetland Isles and the traditional music of Emmas native England have a special place in their duo repertoire.
Said about Bjrnsdotter Reid:
The music produced by these two artists leaves absolutely nothing to be desired of an evening's entertainment. The spirit of their performance is captivating and uplifting. One can not accurately appraise their work without risk of being accused of exaggerating.
- Peg Eves, October 2004, Director, West Street Arts VT
