Gudmundsen-Holmgreen: Complete String Quartets vol. 1

Nordic String Quartet

8.226217

Danish composer Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen (1932–2016) wrote string quartets throughout his life. Fourteen in all; the first three dating from 1959, the last ones from 2013. • 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- olmgreen’s string quartets are full of such clashes. • Nordic String Quartet is a young, highly skilled quartet, formed by professor Tim Frederiksen, and thus following the successes of the 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 works on this first album are world premiere recordings. • The release will be celebrated with a concert and reception in Østerbro Koncertforening in Copenhagen on February 19th 2019.
