Langguard: String Quartets, Vol.1

The string quartets of Danish music's eccentric outsider Rued Langgaard are passionate works of the composer's youth, representing both his nostalgically romantic side and his profoundly visionary modernity. For the first time on CD, this recording series presents all 8 quartets in the award-winning young Nightingale String Quartet's distinctly dramatic interpretation based on the revised Rued Langgaard Edition. Nightingale String Quartet has won awards at several national as well as international chamber music competitions including 1st prize at the Royal Danish Academy of Music scholarship chamber music competition.
