NOVO Quartet

Denmark’s NOVO Quartet, founded in 2018, won international plaudits by taking top prizes at the Geneva, Heidelberg, Carl Nielsen and Trondheim competitions. It joined the latest crop of BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists in 2025 and confirmed its status among the top rank of young ensembles with a superb debut recording of works by Shostakovich, Matias Vestergård and Nielsen. ‘The Novo have already made their mark in Scandinavia’, noted Gramophone. ‘Judging from this album, it won’t be long before they are doing the same in the rest of Europe and beyond.’
