The Danish String Quartet will be giving us all the number ones. The first string quartets by recent recipient of the Sonning Prize, Adés, and by three of our greatest Danish composers.
The Danish String Quartet
Asbjørn Nørgaard
Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen
Fredrik Schøyen Sjölin
Frederik Øland
The four men of one of Denmark’s most renowned chamber ensembles introduce themselves with disarming humour on their homepage. “We are simply your friendly neighbourhood string quartet with an above average growth of beard.” Add to that that the quartet received the Carl Nielsen Grant in 2011 and was appointed “New Generation Artist 2013-15″ by the BBC. In combination this reflects an all-round musical breadth, recognized around the world for its exemplary quality and vitality.
