About
Launching its complete cycle of Gudmundsen-Holmgreen’s string quartets, the Nordic String Quartet here presents the first six quartets. Honesty meets schoolboy pranks, obstinacy meets doubt, yes meets no – Gudmundsen-Holmgreen’s string quartets are full of such clashes. We start at one point and end at a totally different one. Never fusty, often entertaining, always adamant.
Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen was a unique personality and a major figure in Danish musical life and one of the most important composers from Northern Europe in the 20th and 21st century.
Nordic String Quartet is a young, highly skilled quartet, formed by professor Tim Frederiksen, and thus following the successes ofthe Danish String Quartet and Nightingale String Quartet.
The album is the first in a series of three with the complete string quartets by Gudmundsen-Holmgreen – all in all 14 string quartets. All works on the first album are world premiere recordings.
Nordic String Quartet:
- Hei∂run Petersen (Faroe Islands) (violin)
- Mads Haugsted Hansen (Denmark) (violin)
- Daniel Eklund (Sweden) (viola)
- Lea Emilie Brøndal (Denmark) (cello)
