As in their first Langgaard disc the Nightingales play this music with an understanding and love that puts competitors in the shade. And it's all beautifully recorded. Recommended - so long as you start with Rose Garden Play!
April 2014
this is a highly impressive reading of a work [Rose Garden Play] anticipating Janacek's quartets in sheer emotional acuity...The A flat Quartet is music of greater poise and restrain...A winning account of a work whose standing outside the numbered series can only have hindered its progress...One can only look forward to the final release in this important and worthwhile series.

Besides Langgaard's delightful, fundamentally hospitable music, the NSQ's interpretations are also most commendable...A blend of expressive astuteness and technical self-confidence leaves the whole project smelling aptly of roses.
