Caroline Eidsten Dahl (b. 1980) is one of Norway’s most active recorder players and specialises in baroque repertoire. She has performed at numerous festivals including the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, the Early Music Festival in London and the Stockholm Early Music Festival.

2014 saw the release of Caroline’s debut solo album “Blockbird - Norwegian Recorder Music” (LWC1069) receiving rave reviews both on the home front and abroad. This was followed in 2018 by the release of “Sonata Norwegica” (LWC1165) featuring Norwegian and Swedish baroque music.

She is accompanied on this recording by Kate Hearne on the baroque cello. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Kate is a graduate of the Royal Irish Academy of Music and Stockholm’s Royal College of Music. Equally at home on the baroque cello as on the recorder, she plays both instruments professionally and tours extensively as a soloist and chamber musician, performing with an array of baroque and contemporary music ensembles.

They are joined by Christian Kjos on the harpsichord. Christian is a very active continuo player playing with orchestras such as Barokkanerne and the Norwegian Baroque Orchestra and has performed under the direction of Ton Koopman and Andrew Manze.
