Notes & Reviews:

Carl Friedrich Abel goes to Norway, where the famous bass viol virtuoso meets a player of the Hardanger fiddle (a violin fitted with sympathetic strings typical of the Hardanger region). This meeting occurs during a wedding and every circumstance is an opportunity for nice music: walking to church, the religious ceremony, the ball and its aristocratic and popular dances, the telling of anecdotes and confidences around the fire, and a good pint of beer, ending up in an early-morning frenzy with a last dance that marks the end of the festivities.
