Synopsis

Product Description
Vagn Holmboe (1909-96) counts as one of the greatest 20th-century
composers of string quartets. Holmboe's music is dynamic, organic
and alive, and his musical language is rooted in the Nordic landscape
but also reveals his keen interest in the folk music of Eastern Europe.
This unique collection comprises all Holmboe's string quartets in the
highly acclaimed recording by the Kontra Quartet, who enjoyed a close
collaboration with the composer.
