Review: The Quartetto Italiano--The Birth Of A Legend
Recorded from 1946-1959, these recordings showcase the origins of the Quartetto Italiano's incomparably aristocratic, impeccably tasteful, supremely musicianly style. They are mandatory listening for anyone who cares about great quartet playing, in music ranging from the early baroque to the mid-20th century. Warner has remastered this 14-disc set with the care that the performances deserve.
