Music of the Spheres

Rued Langgaard

Rued Langgaard's most visionary symphonic works form the impressive conclusion to Dacapo's acclaimed Dausgaard-Langgaard cycle. The three works on this disc are among Langaard's most grandiose and effective orchestral works. The Music of the Spheres, with its evocative, striking timbres, is Langgaard's most original and forward-pointing work, and a major work of Scandinavian music.

The Complete String Quartets

Vagn Holmboe

Vagn Holmboe (1909-96) counts as one of the greatest 20th-century composers of string quartets. Holmboe's music is dynamic, organic and alive, and his musical language is rooted in the Nordic landscape but also reveals his keen interest in the folk music of Eastern Europe. This unique collection comprises all Holmboe's string quartets in the highly acclaimed recording by the Kontra Quartet, who enjoyed a close collaboration with the composer.
