Before I delve more deeply into Roger Tallroth and Vasen, the Swedish trio he's a member of, I'm going to take a left turn at Albuquerque (to misquote Bugs Bunny), and go off on a short tangent. We will reconvene the following weekend with the Vasen connection.
I became aware some years ago of the Danish String Quartet. Out of that group, I focused on one musician/composer, a young fellow named Rune Tonsgaard Sorenson. Rune's an interesting and busy fellow: not yet forty, he's the concert master of the Copenhagen Philharmonic, a teacher at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, the violinist for the Danish String Quartet, and in his free time started a folk trio called Dreamers' Circus, which also includes Ale Carr on the cittern and Nikolaj Busk on accordion and keyboards. It's this last incarnation that I'm featuring now.
This video was the first I watched of them, and it sold me forever on their music and their performances. The piece is called "City Gardens" and the video was shot on the Danish island of Mon.
