Complete String Quartets

Complete String Quartets

For Manfredini, instrumental music was a form of language, in a way similar to painting and poetry, and its main objective to please and touch the heart. This beautiful collection shows the extent to which his work reflected his theoretical and aesthetic ideals. Each of the string quartets exhibits a consummate balance between the instruments, between melody and harmony, and between lyricism and chiaroscuro effects. Here was a composer who knew his art through and through, and who, moreover, successfully defended it in disputes with other contemporary music theorists. The listener will be transported by the emotive dialogues at the centre of this Italian masters finest pieces. The Quartetto Delfico is a group of four orchestral players who came together to specialise in the Italian string quartet repertoire. Their practice on original instruments lends them a unique identity, and they have played a number of international festivals, as well as appearing on BBC Radio 3. Other information: Recorded on 6-8 September 2013, Villa San Fermo, Lonigo, Italy. Booklet contains notes in Italian and English and an ensemble biography.
