RECORDING INFORMATION

The Quartetto Italiano's set of the Early Quartets has already been released in "Originals" [475 8252] and the release of the complete cycle continues with the second volume, devoted to the Middle Quartets.

"The remastered Italian set still sounds well: their superiority in terms of sheer quartet playing is still striking: purity of intonation, perfectly blended tone and superb ensemble and attack. Their tempi are perfectly judged and every phrase is sensitively shaped, and these performances remain very recommendable at mid-price." The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs
