Notes On Recordings
The Quartetto Italiano have recorded the complete quartets by Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann, Brahms and Webern. They have rarely collaborated with other soloists, but notably recorded the Brahms clarinet quintet with Antoine-Pierre de Bavier in the early 1950s, and the Brahms Piano Quintet op 34 with Maurizio Pollini in 1974. They also wished to play the quintet with two violoncellos of Schubert with Pierre Fournier, and Mozart's Quintet with two violas (K 516) with Milan Škampa, viola of the Smetana Quartet, but neither project realized, the first one due to the impossibility of finding a concert date, the second one due to a visa refusal from the Czechoslovakian authorities.
