Nordic winter, rugged landscapes, mythology and Scandinavian folk music: this time, #Ignition takes us right into the world of ‘Nordic Fantasies’.
‘Skyrim’ is the main focus of this pop culture programme, but the journey continues – from Grieg’s ‘Peer Gynt’ and Sibelius to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘God of War’. At the centre of it all is Ragnhild Hemsing on the Hardanger fiddle, whose unmistakable sound blends authentic Nordic folk music, vast fantasy worlds and symphonic grandeur.
