Norwegian Folk Music
Formed under the midnight sun in Lofoten in 2005, the Engegård Quartet
has rapidly become one of Norway’s most sought after ensembles. Their
bold, fresh interpretations of the classical repertoire combined with a deep
attachment to their Scandinavian roots has attracted international acclaim,
and inspired some innovative partnerships and programming. The quartet’s
debut CD was praised as ‘breathtaking’ in The Strad, while their second
release won Pizzicato magazine’s ‘Supersonic Award’. Their CD of works by
Grieg, Sibelius, and Olav Anton Thommessen was praised by Tully Potter in
Music Web International as ‘what Grieg lovers have been waiting for’.
