The Quartetto di Cremona, founded in 2000 while the members were
students at the Accademia Walter Stauffer in Cremona, Italy, is rapidly
becoming one of the most interesting and dynamic chamber music ensembles
of their generation. The Strad Magazine noted their “extremely mature
and lyrical sound”, the Süddeutsche Zeitung described them as “one of
the most exciting quartets of their generation” and the London Times
have listed them as one of the up-and-coming foursomes to watch.
