Cremona Quartet Solo

Welcome to Cremona

Known as the birthplace of strings, the Italian city of Cremona has a long and special history. Built hundreds of years ago with wood from surrounding forests, each instrument has its own unique personality, and together their sound represents the heart, soul and magic of the region. A collection of four cherished string instruments dating back to the 1600s, Cremona Quartet captures and preserves every detail of their rare characteristics.

These instruments were made by the finest luthiers in history. With each articulation of every note played by virtuoso performers in Cremona’s Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi, and recorded in exceptional detail, their sounds are now immortalised for contemporary productions. The Virtuoso, Sustain, and Marcato articulations feature both modelled, real-time controllable vibrato and recorded vibrato performances, offering the best of both worlds: precision and expression.
