Nightingale String Quartet Continues Fine Vagn Holmboe Series

The Nightingale Quarte has a clear affinity for Danish composers. And their expertise in bringing this music to life. Volume one — and now volume two — of their Holmboe series reinforces those impressions

Nightingale Quartet starts Vagn Holmboe series

The Nightingale Quartet is off to a great start. They just finished their survey of Rued Langgard string quartets. Holmboe (stylistically) is the next logical step. I'm glad they took it.

Vagn Holmboe Concertos -- Neo-classical richness

While this release is available as a download, I highly recommend the SACD version -- especially if you have an SACD player. These performances were lovingly recorded by DaCapo, and the fullness of the sound adds an extra dimension to these appealing works.

Holmboe Chamber Symphonies -- Miniature Gems

I wasn’t that familiar with Vagn Holmboe’s music before I received this collection of his chamber symphonies. But after listening to them for a while, I would definitely like to explore the repertoire of this Danish composer further.
