TrondheimSolistene is regarded one of the top chamber orchestras in the world. Their Divertimenti was nominated for the 2008 GRAMMY Awards as "Best Small Ensemble", "Best Engineered Album" and "Best Surround Sound Album". Now In Folk Style sets a new standard for the performance of Edvard Grieg's "Suite From Holberg's Time" with the intense musical details revealed in this most spectacular surround sound recording ever made.

In Nordic Melodies we find Grieg in passionate play with folk songs. The work sparkles with harmonies and expression, developing a whole story from just a few short stanzas. The Holberg Suite, loved for its beauty and feared for its challenges, is a fusion of European musical tradition and a genuine Norwegian sound palette. The Trondheim Soloists follow up with two brilliant soloists, Emilia Amper on nyckelharpa and Gjermund Larsen on fiddle, in newly commissioned music characterized by the same energy and tenderness. Wild nature and Nordic light are essential elements of the folk style. This lies at the core of the Trondheim Soloist's soul, a meeting between the musical playfulness and passion.

The Trondheim Soloists (TrondheimSolistene) from Norway are one of the most exciting young ensembles performing on the international stage. With the appointment of the cellist Øyvind Gimse as Artistic Director in 2002, the orchestra is now widely recognized as being at the forefront of defining artistic quality in Norway, collaborating with artists of the highest calibre across a broad range of genres. Øyvind Gimse is assisted In Folk Style by concertmaster Geir Inge Lotsberg.

In Folk Style is produced by Lindberg Lyd and released by 2L, a Grammy nominated record company renowned internationally for its uncompromising focus on audiophile quality.

Blu-ray is the first domestic format in history that unites theatre movies and music sound in equally high quality. The musical advantage is the high resolution for audio, and the convenience for the audience as one single player will handle music, films, DVD-collection and your old library of traditional CD.

Pure Audio: Initiated by Lindberg Lyd and further developed by msm-studios, the Pure Audio Blu-ray combines the requisite storage capacity for surround and high resolution sound (24Bit/192kHz) with the uncomplicated handling of a standard compact disc (CD). This Blu-ray disc is configured in such a way that it can be played back with the simple functionality of a CD on any Blu-ray player. The user can, but is not obliged to, take advantage of the visual options (screen menu). In other words, the Pure Audio Blu-ray Disc is an autonomous medium: no TV is required to use it. The functionality is as easy as with CD: the user can navigate with the remote control and push the dedicated buttons for PLAY, STOP, SKIP and all other functions. The numeric keys directly access the corresponding track number and the desired audio stream can be selected by the coloured keys on the remote control. For example, press the red button for 5.1 DTS HD Master or yellow for 2.0 LPCM.
