What the Critics Say
"Bjarke Falgren lovingly and attentively nurtures every note from his violin. Each note receives such care that it becomes almost tangible. A note is not merely something that begins and lasts until the next one arrives. It is a world in itself."
– Thomas Michelsen, Politiken
"Bjarke Falgren is a remarkably gifted, technically accomplished and artistically wide-ranging musician. I have always regarded him as a musical mastermind. Such is his authority on stage, where he captivates audiences with the effortless organic quality of his performance. With a unique sense of cultural character and a distinctive artistic voice, he turns the violin into a vehicle for his own emotions."
– Ivan Rod, GAFFA
