About: Arild Kvartetten

Four musicians with roots in the Royal Danish Orchestra and the DR Symphony Orchestra make up the Arild Quartet - a pedigree that shows in every phrase they play together. Since their 2008 debut they have tackled major cycles by Beethoven and Brahms, and brought Danish Romantic repertoire to international attention through Dacapo Records.
