"Has Nielsen been played better? These young Danes set benchmark standards." (Gramophone)
Here is the second volume of The Young Danish String Quartet's highly acclaimed miniseries of Carl Nielsen's string quartets. The first volume in The Young Danish String Quartet’s mini-series of Carl Nielsen’s quartets was selected as Editor’s Choice in Gramophone last summer, and a number of prestigious magazines and newspapers from all over the world agreed: This interpretation of Nielsen’s string quartets sheds brilliant new light on Denmark’s national composer.
