Violinist Annar Follesø has released
three critically acclaimed albums
where his interpretations of Ole Bull
are central. In 2019 he will release a
new album with previously unknown
works by Bull, together with pianist
Wolfgang Plagge and the Norwegian
Radio Orchestra conducted by
Eun-Sun Kim.
Follesø and Plagge have collaborat-
ed since 1999, and during this year’s
Bergen International Festival they will
perform a double concert in Ole Bull’s
summer residence on Lysøen. Here

the audience will be able to hear two
pieces from the new album, as well as
other works.
’On the programme are two works
typical of Bull’s eclectic style –
Italian bel canto meets Scottish and
Norwegian folk music and a sort of
precursor to the ragtime style made
famous by Scott Joplin decades lat-
er. Also, we will perform a great but
rarely played piece by Bull’s great role
model, Niccolò Paganini,’ says Follesø.
Playing Bull’s music on Lysøen is
a very special experience for the
violinist.
’Not only does the beautiful nature
create a frame around the concert
venue, but the house and its interior
also complement the music in an
outstanding way,’ he says.
