Now the renowned ensemble, at present house quartet at both New York's Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society and BBC Radio 3, is releasing the vinyl version of Wood Works, presenting their favorite melodies from Nordic folk music including the 400 year old bridal music from the island of Fanø that has spread far and wide as a video with over 50,000 plays across the internet. The high technical and musical quality, the joy of playing, the powerful impact the quartet makes on stage and the fresh approach to familiar repertoire has become a Danish String Quartet trademark. These qualities have led the quartet to great success. The four young musicians have performed all over Europe, returning repeatedly to Germany and the UK particularly. Review The quartet mines a surprisingly varied range of moods, instrumental effects and color, and tempo. --Strings Magazine, December 2014"It was a good year for Danish music, with excellent recordings of symphonies by Carl Nielsen, Per Norgard and Poul Ruders, plus two lovely albums of Rued Langgaard's string quartets. But the most striking of all is Wood Works, a musical journey through Nordic folk music guided by the extraordinarily gifted Danish String Quartet. "Sonderho Bridal Triology - Part II," with its colorful grooves, turns out to be a 400-year-old wedding song from the Danish island of Fano. There are stops in other Nordic hamlets for local versions of polkas and jigs, all played with such unmannered charm that you might wish the group would give up its usual diet of Haydn and Brahms." --Tom Huizenga, NPR Best Classical Albums of 2014 ## Images ![Wood Works - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jiuPaJL9L.jpg) ![Wood Works - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mLVTj0SbL.jpg) ![Wood Works - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wbf6PfP4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Danish String Quartet Wows with the Folk Music of Scandinavia *by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2014* I just recently learned and found the Danish String Quartet, one through a feature in a magazine and then through NPR radio playing their music. I was leaning towards this Wood Works album being of Scandinavian influences in the traditional folk sense, Norwegian myself and loving the music classical and traditional. What a treat and delight this album is! The album starts off in a haunting tone, reflective and sets the Scandinavian spirit in a dark yet beautiful mood. Then it moves on from there with spirited dances, jigs, and tradtional folk tones, some even will recognize who are familiar with Scandinavian music. In fact I can't stop playing the album, the groups playing is fantastic and evokes the feelings and sounds of Norway, Sweden, Denmark so very well. Its like a traditional Scandinavian koltbord or smorgasbord filled with moving material and a fresh sound for these old pieces and stories that are living within them. What has me so impressed is its a string quartet playing traditional tunes, yet while listening you forget its a string quartet. I can't recommend this album enough. I would love to see a follow up album to this one, they cover the Scandinavian feelings and sounds so well and you can tell by the playing that they enjoy what they do and have the knowledge and care for the music they are showcasing and sharing. Thank you Danish String Quartet, amazing job, more please! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Continuing the folk tradition *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018* A risk in globalization is the deterioration or disappearance of cultural aspects that have ancient and unique characteristics like launguages and folk music. Even in the “classical” genre, grafting such folk melodies was fairly common albeit in small doses. Here the Danes continue this tradition seen in early composers like Haydn, Beethoven, Dvorak, Liszt grafting in Hungarian folk fragments but especially in the lifelong work of Bartok with Kodaly. As such the music tends more simple, peasant, organic. It is a place for imperfect and community celebration, not individual, perfected virtuosity. You feel such spirit in what the Danish Quartet brings. It comes off well and makes a broadening repertoire beyond the well-known classical quartets of Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, and Shostakovich. Much credit to these Danes for their tasteful, spirited performances that feel more like a impromptu pub performance than a over-produced recording studio session. Plus some surprise “guest” instruments bring an unexpected twist to the music. Their instruments sound rich, earthy, clear and balanced. Compositions - 4 stars; Performance - 5 stars; Sound quality - 5 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning Nordic Folk Music in Classical Forms *by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015* A very short history of popular Scandinavian music in America: Rosenfole (1989); Nordisk San (1991); The Sweet Sunny North (Vol 1, 1994; Vol 2, 1996]; Septentrio (2013), and now (2014) Wood Works. The Danish String Quartet, a classical ensemble, arranged Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish traditional and folk songs and dances to produce a beautiful, sweet, haunting, and somewhat melancholic album, even when the dances swirl and jump. Most of the folk music in this region centers on the fiddle; thus, it is appropriate for a quartet to expand the harmonies and embellish the simple melodies. Ditties now are transformed into quasi sonatas, rondos, chaconnes, and renaissance gigues. [I really do not know the musical structures, but you get the drift.] A flugelhorn makes a guest appearance in track 7, Five Sheep, Four Goats. Counterpoint and jazzlike swing follow in a contemporary piece, O Fredrik, O Fredrik. The schottis, is a rhythm that alludes to Scotland; this wide European musical style is the dance of track 12, which came to Norway from Germany. Go figure. Wood Works is a wonderful album that will please world music fans as well as classical music enthusiasts. This unique fusion is charming. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/27650575-wood-works](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/27650575-wood-works) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
