The Quartetto Italiano was a string quartet founded in Reggio Emilia in 1945. They made their debut in 1945 in Carpi when all 4 players were still in their early 20's. They were originally named Nuovo Quartetto Italiano before dropping the "Nuovo" tag in 1951. They are particularly noted for their recording of the complete cycle of Beethoven string quartets, made between 1967 & 1975. The quartet disbanded in 1980.
The secretary & historian of the Quartet was Guido Alberto Borciani (Reggio Emilia, 20 October 1920 - 4 April 2008), mechanical engineer & talented pianist, Paolo's brother & founder in 1987 of the Premio Paolo Borciani.
PENTATONE has licensed (from the Decca Music Group) the quad recordings which were made in the 70s by Philips Classics. The quadro system was not successful because of flaws in the playback equipment. However today's SA-CD equipment is capable of reproducing these recordings the way they were originally intended. Polyhymnia has remastered these recordings for release on SACD. This series is called 'RQR'.
HRAudio.net review by John Broggio:
This disc contains 2 of Haydn's greatest quartets & contrasts them with 1 of Beethoven's early quartets that already demonstrates how he adopted Haydn's model before developing it to his own ends.
The Haydn quartets are known as the "Emperor" & "Sunrise" respectively. The playing is similar in both & is a peerless example of quartet playing from the 1970's technically speaking. Listeners who have become more accustomed to the more sprightly tempos for Minuet's will be disappointed though & there are also numerous occasions where the phrasing is ignored in the passage work of the outer movements. Ornaments are also often placed in advance of the beat instead of today's more common practice of on the beat. Listeners would be advised to sample before purchasing (the finale to the Sunrise quartet is perhaps a good bellweather).
There are no such reservations about the Beethoven. Here is playing & musicianship of the very highest quality. Tempo choices are perfect, both in themselves & in relation to each other. Phrase runs from instrument to instrument in a quite joyful manner; the dynamics are subtly observed rather than the hyper-intense fashion of today & seems to suit the mood of the music rather more than some of the dramatic accounts of the work heard in concert halls today.
The sound has aged well and reveals every aspect of the playing beautifully with only the seemingly constant thinning of the violin sound above the stage. Despite there being 3 years between the recordings on this disc & a change of location, the sound is remarkably consistent.
