Nightingale String QuartetAbout
In 2021, the award-winning Nightingale String Quartet began a new exploration of one of the great unsung quartet cycles of the last century, that of Vagn Holmboe (1909-1996).
The first album in the series was among the Recordings of the Year 2021 in Gramophone magazine and received several top-grade reviews.
Holmboe composed non-stop for nearly three quarters of a century , but it was the string quartets that preoccupied him more than any other genre. He wrote over 30 in the course of a remarkable span of 70 years.
This second album in the cycle presents Holmboe’s String Quartet no.2 with the subtitle ‘In Memoriam Béla Bartók’ and the dense and beautifully proportioned String Quartet no.14.
The album also includes the Quartetto sereno, which Holmboe worked on in his last days, but did not manage do complete. It was instead completed by his pupil and friend Per Nørgård: ‘I had the feeling – indirectly– that he wanted that. […] It was both an exciting and really grateful task’.
