OTTAR E. AKRE: JULEHILSEN

Time for some nice accordion music. It's a waltz called "Julehilsen" played by the Norwegian accordion player, composer and teacher Ottar Edvardsen Akre (1896-1992). It's an acoustic Beka record (no. 78104) and it was probably recorded in Oslo november 1919 and out in the stores around the Christmas of 1919. I don't know whether Akre composed this waltz, but it's not impossible that it may be the case - anyway, it's a rare old accordion recording with a man who would become the symbol of Norwegian accordion music. Enjoy and merry Christmas!
