The music of the two composer cousins C.F.E. Horneman and Asger Hamerik was never properly appreciated in their native Denmark during their lifetimes. Hamerik made his career abroad, while Horneman fell foul of everyone in the Copenhagen musical establishment. Now the Arild String Quartet sheds new light on the forgotten string quartets of the two composers with this debut CD for Dacapo Records.
