Peter Heise is the unequalled Danish master of the lied, but his string quartets have been overshadowed for decades. 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 part, these works reveal Heise's musical imagination in all its brilliance, performed with an expansive, lyrical sensitivity attuned to the composer's characteristic poetic style.
