Copenhagen String Quartet

About
Though belonging to two different periods in the history of Danish music, Friederich Kuhlau and C.F.E. Horneman were kindred spirits in artistic and human terms. Kuhlaus quartet, his last work, is inspired by Betthoven's Quartet in A minor, op. 132. Horneman's is still fairly classical in style but contains features anticipating his later compositions, which exerted a major influence on the music of Carl Nielsen.
