Review
Seven years ago the ensemble Höök made their first CD, which presented music from old books from the 18th century. Now they have made a follow-up, where they go even further back, to the 17th century, and bring the listener along on a journey around Scandinavia and the Baltic countries with melodies popular at the time. They play the music on fiddles, viola, cello and other strings. They have also invited some guests to play lute and recorders. Just as on their first CD they approach this repertoire in a free and loving way, without paying too much attention to conventions of interpretation and performance. Is it baroque or folk music? Quite simply music!
