Swedish Folk Music Treasures: Sture Sahlstrom

The Sahlström family is one of Sweden’s best-known musical families, and Sture Sahlström is one of the great tradition-bearers in the folk music of Uppland province. Polskas, waltzes, and marches ring out from his nyckelharpa, rhythmic and steady, when he plays. … Through the years, Sture has generously shared the tunes of the Sahlström heritage as well as other Uppland tunes and some from elsewhere in Sweden. In this recording, Sture and his niece Sonia Sahlström present a sampling of his music and his rich tune repertoire. Watch, listen, and enjoy their masterful duo music!
