FatDog: New Found Land
Musicisti scandinavi e britannici convergono in questo sestetto, che perlustra spazi folklorici di chiara matrice nordeuropea. L'impatto iniziale è molto felice, poi ci si assuefa un tantino, e l'eccessiva presenza di episodi vocali (spesso ripetitivi) contribuisce a smarrire, ad appiattire un minimo le ottime risultanze (e sensazioni) iniziali.

Gli episodi più convincenti coincidono così col prevalere degli strumentali, capaci di restituirci tutti i profumi di una musica tradizionalmente così fragrante: l'iniziale "Jonas Slängpolska," e poco dopo il più breve "Halling Etter Sjur Eldegard," poi "Polonäs Från Sexdrega" (che non dispiacerebbe al nostro Trovesi), "Sandansko Oro" e il conclusivo "Gubbvalsen" (di Anders Ådin; per il resto prevalgono i temi popolari riarrangiati), in bel crescendo.
