| Description: | String Quartets by N. Dalberg, released 6 September 2019.
This version of String Quartets comes as a 1xSuper Audio. - NORDIC STRING QUARTETNancy Dalberg (1881-1949) completed three string quartets, and they hold a place of their own among her compositions. No. 1 in D minor was the very first instrumental work that she presented at a public concert (1915). No. 2 in G minor, op. 14 (1922), was the first work that was published and played outside Denmark, while No. 3, op. 20 (1927), which is dedicated to her teacher, Carl Nielsen, was not published during her lifetime. The present release of the three quartets features two world premiere recordings. Nancy Dalberg is considered one of the first female composers in Denmark, and she was the first woman in Denmark to compose a symphony. This release sheds new light on one of the world's finest female composers, who due to her lifetime never got the acknowledgement she deserved."The String Quartets" is an audiophile SACD+CD release that presents the complete string quartets by the Danish composer J.L. Dalberg, interpreted by the acclaimed Nordic String Quartet and released by the specialist classical label Dacapo. The hybrid format (SACD+CD) offers both high-resolution multichannel sound for compatible SACD players and a standard stereo CD layer, ensuring optimal playback on any modern system. Listeners can immerse themselves in a transparent, finely balanced recording that highlights the intimate dialogue between the four instruments, from delicate pianissimo passages to powerful, expressive climaxes. Musically, these quartets move between lyrical, singing lines, refined Nordic melancholy and structurally clear, classically informed writing, making the album attractive both for dedicated chamber-music enthusiasts and for newcomers to this repertoire. The booklet typically offers musicological background, insights into Dalberg's stylistic world and details on the performers, deepening the listening experience.
Dacapo is internationally renowned as Denmark's leading classical label, with a clear focus on high-quality recordings of Danish composers from all eras. The company works closely with outstanding ensembles and orchestras and is known for its carefully produced editions, audiophile sound quality and comprehensive documentation. With "The String Quartets", Dacapo once again underlines its role as an important ambassador for Nordic music, making repertoire beyond the standard canon accessible in exemplary recordings.
The Nordic String Quartet is a dedicated chamber ensemble with a focus on Scandinavian and especially Danish repertoire. The ensemble is praised for its stylistic sensitivity, precise ensemble playing and refined sound culture, which allows both the structural clarity and the emotional depth of the works to unfold. Through numerous concert appearances and recordings of Nordic works, the Nordic String Quartet has contributed to increasing international attention for this repertoire and has established itself as an important voice within contemporary interpretations of Nordic chamber music. |
