The group recorded almost exclusively for Philips Classics, leaving a legacy admired for its insight and technical brilliance. This 37CD Box Set celebrates the artistic achievements of the Quartet by presenting their complete recordings on Decca, Philips and DG. Featured are the legendary Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms cycles as well as many other interpretations that never fail to astonish including their Debussy & Ravel debut recording on Philips, their masterful late Schubert and the collaboration with Maurizio Pollini in Brahms’ Piano Quintet.

Nevertheless I suppose these are considered historic recordings now. Over the years I have loved these recordings on both vinyl and CD. If you have never heard the Italians, and you enjoy the string quartet repertoire, there is so much pleasure to be had from this comprehensive box set. The Italians play with absolute, flawless technique and ensemble. Their sensibility eschews obvious ostentatious emoting and at first can sound restrained to ears used to more obvious performances. However these are anything but anemic renditions. They play with a severe intensity and passion and the music making is profound. Review: The Best ! - Hello everyone, At 77 years old, I have always considered the Quartetto Italiano as the best one, with its symphonic approach of this kind of music. Therefore it is great to have all their recordings in a single box. As usual, desertcart servicing was perfect.
