The Danish String quartet begin the first of four concerts in Scotland celebrating the 150th anniversary of composer Carl Nielsen. Recorded live at Perth Concert Hall, the concert begins with music by one of Nielsen's great musical heroes. Haydn's Op. 54 string quartets were written for Johann Tost, then concertmaster of Haydn's Esterh谩zy orchestra. Nielsen himself would go on to be a successful violinist in the Royal Danish Orchestra. His String Quartet No 3 was started in the summer of 1891 and dedicated to his friend Edward Grieg.
