Quartetto di Milano is a renowned classical music ensemble that has been captivating audiences with their exceptional performances for over 40 years. The quartet was founded in 1975 by four talented musicians who shared a passion for chamber music and a desire to create a unique sound that would set them apart from other ensembles. The founding members of Quartetto di Milano were violinist Salvatore Accardo, violist Piero Farulli, cellist Bruno Giuranna, and pianist Antonio Ballista. All four musicians were accomplished soloists in their own right, but they came together to form the quartet with the goal of exploring the rich repertoire of chamber music and bringing their own interpretation to the classics. The quartet quickly gained recognition for their exceptional musicianship and their ability to bring a fresh perspective to even the most well-known works. They were praised for their technical precision, their expressive playing, and their ability to create a seamless blend of sound that was both powerful and nuanced. Over the years, Quartetto di Milano has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the world, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. They have also collaborated with some of the most celebrated musicians of our time, including pianist Martha Argerich, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and violinist Itzhak Perlman. One of the highlights of Quartetto di Milano's career was their performance of Beethoven's complete string quartets at the Salzburg Festival in 1987. This was a monumental undertaking, as the cycle of 16 quartets is considered one of the greatest achievements in the history of Western music. The quartet's performance was hailed as a triumph, and it cemented their reputation as one of the finest chamber ensembles in the world. In addition to their performances, Quartetto di Milano has also recorded extensively, with over 50 albums to their name. Their recordings have received numerous awards and accolades, including the Grand Prix du Disque and the Diapason d'Or. Despite changes in personnel over the years, Quartetto di Milano has remained committed to their original vision of creating a unique sound that is both technically precise and emotionally expressive. Their current lineup includes violinist Laura Marzadori, violist Danilo Rossi, cellist Massimo Polidori, and pianist Andrea Lucchesini. Quartetto di Milano's legacy is a testament to the enduring power of chamber music and the transformative effect that a group of talented musicians can have on the world of classical music. Their dedication to their craft and their commitment to excellence have inspired countless musicians and audiences around the world, and their influence will continue to be felt for generations to come.
