Quartetto Di Milano

The Quartetto di Milano (Milan Quartet) is a renowned Italian string quartet known for their passionate performances and insightful interpretations of both the standard string quartet repertoire and lesser-known works. Formed in 1964 by Paolo Borciani and Elisa Pegreffi (violins), Piero Farulli (viola), and Franco Rossi (cello), the quartet quickly gained international recognition, becoming particularly celebrated for their performances of Beethoven, Schubert, and 20th-century Italian composers. They toured extensively throughout their career, performing at major concert halls and festivals worldwide.

Though the original members are no longer performing, the Quartetto di Milano name continues, carrying on the tradition of excellence established by the founders. Their dedication to exploring a wide range of quartet literature, from the classical masters to contemporary composers, is reflected in their extensive discography, which includes recordings of works by Raff and Krommer, as their recent releases demonstrate. Their commitment to chamber music education has also been a significant part of their legacy, influencing generations of musicians through masterclasses and teaching.
