With this album the Quartetto Bazzini completes the recording of Bazzinis string quartets (originally printed in the nineteenth century) started in 2018 with the previous CD (TC810202). The new album includes quartets no. 2, no. 4 and no. 5, shorter than the monumental no. 1 and no. 3 of the previous CD, and testifies - as the composer Arrigo Boito reminds us - a great intelligence by years of performances and studying of the great German quartets, an experience that allowed him to remain, unlike many contemporaries, independent of the dominant melodramatic context.
