ITALIAN STRING QUARTETS
Other important contributions to this genre, however, also came from opera composers. Three singular examples by Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini have been chosen to compliment Cambini’s quartet. These compositions are characterized by a particularly dramatic style of expression, wonderfully brought to life by the impassioned performances of the Giovane Quartetto Italiano.
(1993) Italian String Quartets - CD 9114
Music in 19th century Italy was completely dominated by opera and its related lyrical forms. Very few composers directed their energies to instrumental music, even fewer to chamber music. Giuseppe Cambini, however, was one of the most prolific composers of string quartets. His works, particularly his late works such as the quartet op. 40/3, are filled with a passion reminiscent of Haydn and provide telling testimony of his talent.
