Citat ur artikel i New York Times den 14 mars 2010
“Hurdy-Gurdy, a Swedish duo (Stefan Brisland-Ferner and Totte Mattsson) that performs on the instrument it is named for, and on laptops loaded with sampled and manipulated hurdy-gurdy sounds, closed the first half. Mr. Brisland-Ferner’s “Delirium” seemed aptly named: an eerie, high-pitched tone, cranked out on one of the hurdy-gurdys, grew into a richly chromatic torrent as samples expanded the texture. The group also played its high-energy, dancelike arrangements of three traditional pieces — “Ynglingen,” “Maran” and “Spindelleken,” the last with a lovely plucked melody — and joined forces with the Kronos for a vigorous account of “Scatter,” a work Mr. Brisland-Ferner and Mr. Mattsson wrote for the quartet in 2008. “
