Ellinorleonor : Ellinor & Leonor

Ellinor & Leonor

Ellinor & Leonor With the uncommon combination of fiddle and 5-string cello, Ellinor & Leonor give a new breadth of sound to traditional Swedish folk music. With the “two fiddle” style of playing at its core, the duo makes excursions from the traditional into improvisation and other genres. Årsringar, released 17 May 2019 1. Brudmarsch från Enviken 2.

Polonesse de Nyström Årsringar (Growth Rings) presents tunes from South Dalarna combining both creative expression and a respect for tradition in fluid, lilting way. With the rare combination of 5-string cello and fiddle, Ellinor & Leonor give new life and expression to tunes handed down across generations from one musician to another or that have been rediscovered in old collections. Together, they intricately weave melodies from the South Dalarna tradition together with improvisation and influences from other genres. Each tune makes its own stylistic journey via baroque, pop or other folk music. In their second album, Årsringar (Growth Rings), cello player, Leonor Palazzo (BE) and National fiddle player, Ellinor Fritz (SE), celebrate the tradition of significant Swedish folk musicians that have gone before.
