Engegard Quartet - Complete String Quartets - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Johan Kvandal's string quartets nos. 1-3 have already been recorded, but here we are also introduced to his other works for this classical ensemble. The Engegård Quartet are ideal interpreters of these often challenging works spanning almost four decades of the composer's life. Thus they show the artistic development of one of the foremost Norwegian composers of the post-war generation. Album Tracks 1. Fugue for String Quartet 2. String Quartet No. 1, Op. 11~I. Allegro 3.
