Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Find of the year. Can you translate?
What are the details of this recording?

It looks like it's only available as a download, and only
in a protected format. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Any ideas how to obtain a real version of this recording?

I can only translate some titles as I'm not from Norway (I'm from Sweden though, so the languages are pretty close).

Rullermann: ruller is a kind of folk dance with two beats, mann = man
Nykkjen = The water sprite
Villfar Og Sylvklaar: Seems to be the name of a nature mythical ballad, but I can't make out the words. Might be something like two person's names, "Lost and of-course/self-apparent/obvious"
Bryllaupsmarsj = wedding march
Grisilla: ?
Habbor Og Signe: Seems to be the names of two people.

Yeah, that's the sad state of the scandinavian music market. And norway is
the most expensive country of all the scandinavian countries afaik.

cheaper than a japanese import , or say La Monte young.
i would rather get something i like than 3 cds i feel so so about for 10.

The full version of takumitsu's "in a Autumn Garden" from Japan cost me more than this and to see it live for my girlfreind and daughter was 240
( hard to believe i could do it at one time)
the best money i have spent in years
One of the greatest microtonal works or plain piece of music in the last part of the 20th century.
no fashion from this man, pure skill and inspiration.
forget the excerpt that is available.
it is like sex, you either do it or not.
but this is my taste only
