QUARTETTO DI VENEZIA
Bruno Giuranna said: "this is a group that stands out in the varied and vast European musical field. The perfect technical mastery and the power of their performances, characterized by the push towards an absolute value of themselves as true performers, place the "Quartet of Venice" at the top of their category and among the very few worthy of taking over the role of the great Quartets of the past".
Analytical precision and passion are the distinctive characteristics of the Venetian ensemble, inherited quality of two basic schools of quartet interpretation: the "Quartetto Italiano" under the guidance of Maestro Piero Farulli and the Mid-European School of "Vegh Quartet", through several meetings with Sandor Vegh and Paul Szabo.
