“[The Arilds] play with apt alacrity, communicating equally both the intelligence and the vibrancy of Horneman's music, not to mention the sparkle of Hamerik's, in a persuasive fashion.”
- MusicWeb International
“If you love the string quartets of Mendelssohn, you’ll be instantly smitten by Horneman’s G-Minor Quartet... The playing on this disc is technically expert and musically attuned to these lovely works, which, if nothing else, are tuneful, harmonically pleasing to the ear, and brimming with the dramatically urgent, rapid, running passages that are so common a feature in Mendelssohn’s quartets.”
- Jerry Dubins, Fanfare
The Arild String Quartet—comprised of leading musicians from the Royal Danish Orchestra—present a release of rarely heard 19th-century Danish music by the cousins C.F.E. Horneman and Asger Hamerik. These composers' careers led them in rather different directions—Horneman to Germany and Hamerik to Paris and the US—but their works here do share a lyricism that makes them thoroughly listenable. Hamerik's Quartetto in A Minor is bookended by Horneman's String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2, all of which are expertly performed by the Arild players.
