It is striking that the two Nordic string quartets that have received the greatest international attention
and have the firmest foothold in the repertoire come from composers whose reputations rests on
their achievements in other genres than chamber music. In the case of Edvard Grieg, a string
quartet was in fact among the very first works that he presented after having finished his studies in
1861, but the Quartet in G minor, Op.27, was the only such work to be published in his lifetime. In
1878, while composing it, Grieg wrote that ‘it aims at breadth, to soar, and, above all, at vigorous
sound’, and the amplitude of the sound is indeed striking: the generous use of double-stops creates
an almost orchestral effect, unusual for the genre. This caused some reviewers to criticize the
quartet as being unidiomatic, while others, including Liszt, greeted it with enthusiasm. Some thirty
years later, when Jean Sibelius composed his D minor quartet Op.56, he too had previous
experience of writing for the medium, but Op.56 is the only quartet among his mature works. He
embarked on it at a critical point in his career, following the completion of the Third Symphony and
during a stage of increased introspection and greater thematic concentration. The often used
'nickname' Voces intimae is often taken to refer to the intimate interchange between the four voices
in a quartet, but is probably a more specific allusion to a brief passage in the third movement:
Sibelius wrote the remark into a score some time after the work had been published. Formed in
2006, the Engegård Quartet has become one of the most sought-after ensembles in Norway and
has also received international recognition. On its first release on BIS the quartet also includes Felix
Remix by Olav Anton Thommessen. The work, which was premièred by the Engegård Quartet in
2014, is based on the second movement, Allegro di molto, of Felix Mendelssohn’s String Quartet,
Op. 44 No.2.
