A most promising start to an essential, richly recorded survey', observed Gramophone about the first volume of Vagn Holmboe's complete string quartets by the Nightingale String Quartet. In this, the second instalment, the Nightingale's continues convincingly with energetic, precise, yet lively and poetic interpretations of the Holmboe quartets, which stand amongst the most significant contributions to the genre in the 20th century.
"In an increasingly mad world, there is much to be said for the sanity of Holmboe’s music...new, original interpretations of one of Denmark’s hidden gems, on which they are casting much-deserved light." - Gramophone Magazine, August 2022.
