Nystedt String Quartets – Oslo String Quartet

Knut Nystedt string quartets

Oslo String Quartet perform four string quartets by acclaimed Norwegian composer Knut Nystedt. The album’s four quartets are written throughout Nystedt’s career and represents all the stylistic phases of his musical development. From the first, written in 1938, to the fifth in 1988. The string quartet is a genre hardly manifested in Norwegian music history, thus his works are significant contributions to Norwegian quartet literature.
