Peter Heise is the incomparable Danish master of the art song, but his string quartets have long been overshadowed. This complete 3-CD recording brings together the entire repertoire of the Nordic String Quartet, including world premiere recordings of numbers 1-6. Together with the previously released first installment, these works reveal Heise's musical imagination in all its brilliance, performed with an expansive, lyrical sensibility attuned to the composer's distinctive poetic style.
