Historical recordings: Here is the second volume of the Haydn recordings made by the Quartetto Italiano in 1954-1955. It includes the exquisite “Bird” quartet from the “Russian” cycle dedicated to the emperor Paul and a lovely piece long considered to be from the young Haydn’s hand but now attributed to his contemporary and admirer Roman Hoffstetter.

The ensemble's confidently-chosen name made it clear from the outset that the Quartetto Italiano saw itself not simply as an Italian string quartet among many, but as the authoritative one. The ensemble was soon recognized as a pioneer of Italian chamber music culture following the Second World War. Through their tireless obsession with detail, in-depth exploration of the works' musical expression, and the remarkable homogeneity of their quartet sound, the Quartetto Italiano conquered a firm place in the top league of leading string quartets over the first two decades of their career.
