CD WITH 14 TRACKS ALL WRITTEN AND ARRANGED BY BJARKE FALGREN. RECORDED IN COPENHAGEN 2020 WITH HIS QUINTET
 
"Bjarke Falgren deliciously and attentively caresses us with his violin. Every note is given attention such that it gets felt and tasted. A tone is not simply something to be held until the next one: it is a world unto itself. Super-swinger Falgren renews and polishes jazz’s fundamentals and his way of evoking notes and getting the violin to speak to us is wonderfully his own." 
Thomas Michelsen, in Politiken
 
"Bjarke Falgren is that rare, talented, technically gifted, and artistically wide-ranging rhythm musician. I’ve always thought of him as a musical mastermind, for such is his presence on stage: he moves with performance ease. With a charming sense for cultural uniqueness and his own style and nature, he makes the violin a funnel for his own emotions. He has the force and qualities to pave the way for an international breakthrough. He might start a partnership with Pat Metheny, for his musicality and obvious preferred tone-spectrum have the same source."
Ivan Roed,”Gaffa” music magazine
 
"Falgren plays with captivating elegance and an intense “swing feeling” without any frills. There are no gimmicks, but much feeling and warmth. He makes every single note on his splendid instrument a flame which bears witness to his unique sensitivity. He is a melody-maker with a special awareness for tiny details and the seemingly simple. Falgren’s violin sounds so beautiful that it is almost heart-rending when he tells us to embrace these inward musical powers it emits with bubbling freshness and majestic playing; it also proves how traditions can be refreshed with music so alive and ever-present.
Jakob Hassing in Jazz Special
 
"Bjarke Falgren touches us with this lovely and sensitive musical experience. It’s as if the violin and bow have grown together in his arms and are part of him. His light, sensitive bowing adds to his personal Falgrenian flavor while exploring and exhibiting the multitude of violin possibilities. The late Svend Asmussen gave his young colleague support and high-flying recommendations, considering Falgren his heir and successor. That relationship implies Falgren’s top musical level and future possibilities. It will be very exciting to follow his progress."
Niels Thorlund, Rootszone magazine
 
"Since the age of 7, Bjarke Falgren has grown up with the violin and has a unique sensitivity to his playing. The quintessence is also sensuality, pain, and passion. With his virtuosity and originality, he can easily call himself Denmark’s “Mr. Fiddle.”
