"... impassioned, insightful performances shed light on fascinating repertory ... they play Nielsen's quartets as if they owned them."
- The New York Times
"This is a committed group of musicians; they’ve given this music much study and thought, yet they’ve retained a freshness of approach that is simply mind-boggling."
- Fanfare
"... these are excellent performances. Nielsen's energy and formal confidence are strikingly refreshing. Vivid sonics add to the impact of the performances. Strongly recommended!"
- ClassicsToday.com
"Editor's Choice ... these recordings are topnotch ... the new Quartet, all in their early twenties, bring a freshness and energy plus a level of sheer accomplishment that I don't ever remember hearing in these works. The results are joyous, effervescent."
- Gramophone
This collection packages two highly acclaimed volumes dedicated to Nielsen by the Danish String Quartet, compiling four string quartets and the only string quintet he ever wrote. These works, all major successes for the debuting composer, contributed to his breakthrough and would play a central role in Nielsen's career.
