Various Chamber Works by renowned Hungarian composer,

From sleeve notes:
Anton Kontra was born and educated in Budapest. At the time of the Hungarian crisis in 1956 he arrived in Sweden where he, with his orchestra,
attracted attention not only as a virtuoso on the violin but also on the vibraphone! In 1965
Anton Kontra came to Denmark, where he became the admired and highly respected concertmaster of the Copenhagen
Philharmonic Orchestra, an appointment he held for 25 years. Here he founded in 1974 the Kontra Quartet, which is one of the most sought after
ensembles in Denmark. In 1990 he returned to Sweden where for ten years he has functioned as the chief concertmaster of the Malmo Symphony
Orchestra, alongside his world-wide career as soloist and quartet first violinist.
The cellist Niels Ullner was born in Copenhagen in 1956. He trained under
Asger Lund Christiansen and Pierre Fournier, Geneva. Already during his training he was made a permanent member of the Danish Radio Symphony
Orchestra, which he left to take up a position as first solo cellist with the
Malmo Symphony Orchestra in 1985. He has made several recordings as soloist with the MSO. He played chamber music with many of the world's
most prominent musicians - in the sonata repertoire most often with the pianist, Anne 01and. He has received the Jacob Gades Legat and the
artist's prize awarded by music critics.
Anne Oland was born in Denmark in 1949. She studied at the Royal Danish
Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen under Professor Herman D. Koppel. She has appeared several times as a soloist with the Danish Radio Symphony
Orchestra and with the other six large Danish orchestras. At the moment Anne
Oland is recording all the Beethoven piano sonatas."
