Today is the 145th anniversary of the death of Ole Bull. So here’s my playlist, beginning with my reimagining of his lost ‘American Fantasy’, which was commissioned for Festspillene i Bergen and premiered at Ole Bull Lysøen Museum – at the concert in the picture. Malene Sheppard Skaerved slept in his house in Madison WI last week – he is much on our mind as we ride the rails in the USA. Thanks to the ever-inspired Sigurd Sverdrup Sandmo for the birthday reminder
