The Nyckelharpa or “keyed fiddle” is a distinctively Swedish instrument with a history dating back to the 1400s. With its layer if sympathetic strings and rich alto-tenor voice, the nyckelharpa’s unearthly hypnotic tone inevitably captivates and enchants listeners of this magical instrument. In TWISTING OF THE ROPE, Aryeh cross pollinates the haunting and otherworldly sound of the Swedish Nyckelharpa with evocative and universally appealing Celtic melodies to create a delightful and moving collection of heart-wearming instrumental music.
