The nyckelharpa - a fascinating marvel of sound. At first glance, it resembles a violin, as it is played with a bow. But at the same time, it requires the musician to play numerous keys; a complex combination that only a few have mastered. One of the few masters of this instrument is Thomas Roth. "Basically, my work involves constantly placing the nyckelharpa, with its long tradition, in new musical contexts. The results are always totally exciting. As are the encounters with musicians from various musical genres whom I meet and work with," says Thomas Roth, who, with his talent and charisma, embodies a unique mixture of bard and adventurer.
Thomas Roth's playing on the nyckelharpa is sensitive and full of passion - a window into his soul. In his melodies and harmonies, he tells stories and shares experiences. Sometimes playful and cheerful, then again profound and dramatic, and sometimes melancholic.
