From Dark till Dawn review — the Proms party all night / The Times (UK), 12 August 2025
As the clock ticked past midnight the irrepressible Norwegian collective Barokksolistene, making their Proms debut, had the audience cheering, laughing, singing along and even skipping a light fandango in the arena. The Norwegians are a brilliantly organised bunch, yet give the illusion of freely improvising on the entire gamut of north European folk music, while also supplying very Scandinavian humour, exuberant dancing and haunting quieter numbers. If I were running the BBC I would book them for the Last Night of the Proms — they would put some pep into Rule, Britannia!
