As a Scandinavian quartet, it was natural to record on their first cd one of the masterpieces of Nordic music, the Grieg G minor, and to explore and performSolberg’s only quartet. The Solberg piece reflects Norwegian folk tunes, ‘with a sound that resonates with everybody who lives in the land where the sun sitslow on the horizon’. Founder member of the Quartet, Arvid Engegård, haspreviously led the Orlando Quartet for several years, and worked with bothScandinavian and European orchestras including the Oslo Philharmonic. Thebackbone of the Engegård Quartet is still the great quartets of Beethoven,Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Bartok.
