Attitudes

The folk music quartet FOLIA's second album is a mix of original arrangements by Gunnar Hahn and Hans Wahlgren, but also new tunes by Swedish composers, plus some belowed pieces by Piazzolla and Galliano. FOLIA is Klas-Göran Wahlgren (violin), Anders Eriksson (clarinet), Håkan Rydlöv (bassoons) and Lars Holm (accordion). FOLIA's first album (dBCD42) was nominated for a Swedish Grammy in 2001. "Their sound is quite original and recognizable, often in merry tempi, with a touch of both burlesque folksiness and slender-limbed chamber music in the meeting between these actually quite ill-matched instruments. As a mix of old backyard music and a scent of the fine salons". (Ulf Gustavsson, UNT 2008-10-01)
