Quartetto di Cremona & Eckart Runge - Schubert: String Quintet & String Quartet 'Death and the Maiden' (2019) [Hi-Res]

The new album offers the chance to listen simultaneously to four Stradivari instruments and an Amati cello: The Quartetto di Cremona plays the Stradivarius Paganini Quartet, one of the few quartet "sets" completed by Antonio Stradivari and once owned by the legendary violinist Niccola Paganini. Eckart Runge plays a rare cello made by Hieronymus and Antonio Amati in their Cremonese atelier.

After completing the recording cycle of Beethoven's String Quartets, the Quartetto di Cremona's new double CD is entirely dedicated to Franz Schubert, presenting two of his

latest masterpieces: the String Quartet Death and the Maiden and the String Quintet in C major, with cellist Eckart Runge.
