Quartetto di Cremona

Quartetto di Cremona
Het Quartetto di Cremona speelt in de huidige samenstelling al twintig jaar op het allerhoogste niveau. Zij worden geroemd om hun eigengereide interpretaties en wonderschone klank. Het kwartet ontstond in de Italiaanse plaats Cremona, de bakermat van de vioolbouwkunst, waar bouwers als Stradivari en Amati hun nog steeds onovertroffen instrumenten maakten. De twee violisten spelen op een Amati en een Guadagnini, de bejubelde klank van het kwartet is mede daaraan te danken. Het Quartetto di Cremona is met prijzen overladen en overal waar zij spelen loopt pers en publiek met ze weg. Zo schreef The Strad na een concert in de prestigieuze Londsense Wigmore Hall: ‘Dynamic contouring was as sleek and elegant as an Armani suit, and it tailored the music to perfection.’
Ravel, Debussy en Malipiero
In dit prachtige programma brengen de Italianen twee Franse impressionisten samen met de muziek van hun landgenoot Gian Francesco Malipiero. Die liet zich evenzeer beïnvloeden door de Italiaanse barok als door Paul Hindemith, Stravinsky en Schönberg. Daartegenover is de klankrijkdom van de kwartetten van Ravel en Debussy ongeëvenaard.

Quartetto di Cremona
In their current formation, the Quartetto di Cremona has been playing at the very highest level for 20 years. They are praised for their idiosyncratic interpretations and wonderful sound. The quartet originated in the Italian town of Cremona, the cradle of violin making, where builders such as Stradivari and Amati made their still unsurpassed instruments. The two violinists play on an Amati and a Guadagnini violin; the quartet’s acclaimed sound is partly due to this. The Quartetto di Cremona has been showered with awards and everywhere they play, press and audiences love them. For instance, after a concert at the prestigious London Wigmore Hall, acclaimed music magazine The Strad wrote: ‘Dynamic contouring was as sleek and elegant as an Armani suit, and it tailored the music to perfection.’
Ravel, Debussy and Malipiero
In this wonderful programme, the Italians bring together two French impressionists with the music of their compatriot Gian Francesco Malipiero. The latter was influenced as much by the Italian Baroque as by Paul Hindemith, Stravinsky and Schoenberg. By contrast, the richness of sound of Ravel’s and Debussy’s quartets is unparalleled.
