Carlo Bergonzi 1735 - Violin “Kreisler, Perlman”

Guro Kleven Hagen

Hi! My name is Guro Kleven Hagen, and I work as concertmaster for the Norwegian Opera and Ballett. In addition, I work as a freelancing soloist and chamber musician, and as artistic director for the festival Valdres Sommersymfoni.

One of the things I like the most about this Bergonzi, is the bright and brilliant sound it has, especially in the higher registers.

I remember trying this violin for the first time and feeling at home, like this could be my voice.
