GUARNERI QUARTET - Guarneri String Quartet - The Complete RCA Album Collection | CD

The Guarneri Quartet, one of the most important string quartets of the second half of the 20th century, formed around Rudolf Serkin's "Marlboro Festival" in the early 1960s, consistently impressed with a full string sound, subtle phrasing, and captivating musicality. They were somewhat underrepresented in Europe due to their infrequent concerts here. However, their 1966 recordings of Brahms's and Schumann's piano quintets with Artur Rubinstein also garnered significant attention here. And their subsequent, mostly complete recordings of works by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Bartók are still considered milestones today. Their complete RCA recordings from 1965 to 2005 are now available on 49 CDs, compiled and perfectly restored, including 9 recordings making their CD debut and one previously unreleased recording.
