Fragaria VescaAbout
Violinist Tor Johan Bøen is the founder of Fragaria Vesca, an ensemble dedicated to musical performance on original instruments. At the age of 13 he won the Norwegian competition for young violinists, and at 17 he joined the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. He is noted for his performances of music from the Baroque era to the early 20th century.
Few composers surrounded themselves and their work with such aura of mystique and disarray as did Norwegian Geirr Tveitt. Born in 1908, he wrote around 250 pieces before his death in 1981. Sadly, a fire at the Tveitt farm in 1970 is said to have destroyed most of his musical manuscripts, although copies of some of these works have surfaced over the last decades. The material for this recording has been painstakingly edited by Tor Johan Bøen, some of it based only on a radio recording.
