Fiddle Talks

We thought it would be time to have the composer of our jingle, Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen, as a guest on the show. Rune is a true renaissance man and plays more instruments than we care to count. And he’s a dear friend of Frederik. Together they are in NYC with the Danish String Quartet and the Danish National Girls choir so we are recording from their hotel next to Central Park. In spite of the long distance phone call we get a wonderful and touching conversation with Rune, who is a genius and a stand up guy.

Alberto Giordano is back with more talk about the wonderful world of violin making, but he also has a very unexpected trick up his sleeve. One that comes as a huge surprise to Peter and Frederik. Listen in and hear what it is!

How do you transport the violin of Niccolo Paganini? We can tell you that putting it in any old case won't do. And how about restoring it? Luckily we have the personal doctor of Il Cannone, the violin of Paganini on the show to answer all the questions.

It’s been a while but we are back with a vengeance! This time we chat about the things we’ve done since the last episode and we get around both some nice and nerdy subjects and some silliness. We also launch our very first quiz which is aimed at Peter. Listen in and see how it goes!

Another live episode in front of a wonderful audience from Voksenåsen Summer Academy 2025. Our guests, Isabelle van Keulen and Malin Broman, are two absolute powerhouses in both the violin and viola world. They have received medals from kings, have been soloists with the worlds most renowned symphony orchestras, have organized festivals, recorded numerous albums and much more. But they are also lovely to talk to and we proud to have them. A lot of interesting subjects are turned over, but most of all it’s just great to listen to such wonderful personalities that have had incredible lives in music.
