FOLIA
Attitudes
dB Productions dBCD125 (2008)
Formed by accordionist Lars Holm in 1984 in tribute to Gunnar Hahn’s 1930s radio
‘folk music quartet’, for its second CD this Malmö quartet of clarinet, violin,
accordion and bassoon, photographed sea-paddling jacketed but trouserless, plays
impeccably, in pleasing, elegant Hahn style, pieces and trad-arrangements from
Swedish composers plus foreigners including Piazzolla and Richard Galliano.
