 he world. In 2021\, Quartetto di Cremona was designated a Si-Yo Master Art
 ist™️ Ensemble.\n\nIn 2020 the Quartet celebrated its first twenty yea
 rs of career\, with distinguished concerts and recording projects develope
 d over consecutive seasons. Among them\, the release of “Italian Postcar
 ds” (Avie Records)\, which assembles evocations of the Mediterranean cou
 ntry by four non-natives composers\, such as Mozart\, Wolf\, Tchaikovsky a
 nd Nimrod Borenstein who wrote a brand-new piece for the occasion. The alb
 um has been very well received by international critics.\n\nThe 2020–21

 rojects include a double CD dedicated to Schubert and featuring cellist Ec
 kart Runge. The album was recorded with the Stradivarius set of instrument
 s named “Paganini Quartet”\, on kind loan from the Nippon Music Founda
 tion (Tokyo)\, and attracted high levels of acclaim in the international p
 ress. Same goes for the Beethoven’s string quartets cycle: the eight vol
 umes won prestigious awards (including Echo Klassik 2017 and ICMA 2018) an
 d received numerous recognitions from specialized critics.\n\nFrequently i
