This is an exciting journey back to the roots of string quartet writing and counterpoint: from Renaissance tablatures to Mozart's famous String Quartet, the first of the 'Haydn' Quartets, by way of Dario Castello, Johann Rosenmuller, Johann Sebastian Bach and the inevitable Corelli: a concentration of beautiful music, with a programme that encompasses different periods but with a clear main theme, which Enrico Gatti describes so well in his authoritative liner notes.
