Sigbjørn Apeland has reviewed three of my latest albums in newspaper Dag og Tid: my solo album "Strimur", my duo album of medieval ballads "Så vide fara dei lindarord" with folk singer and lyre player Øyonn Groven Myhren and the latest Slagr album DIRR, which was released in February on Hubro Music.
These are truly nice words I take to heart: "This year's winner of the folk music category at Spellemannprisen (The Norwegian Grammy), Anne Hytta, is a musician who stands out by combining strictly traditional music with an open mind to more contemporary expressions. That is precisely what many musicians tries to do, but few does it as thoroughly and complete as Hytta. The last year, she's been involved in three very different productions - on three different record labels. Together these productions how a musician can find her way in different styles - without being split as a musician."
