RECOMMENDED SITES
Le Dimore del Quartetto: from the mind of Francesca Moncada, in the summer of 2015 this incredible project combining quartets and historic houses was born, of which we are very happy to be a part. Artistic Director Maestro Simone Gramaglia (Quartetto di Cremona) has never failed to make us feel his esteem and this makes us very proud.
Toro String: in a small village in Abruzzo called Salle, there is a craftsmanship of excellence that the whole world envies us. For generations, the Toro family has continued its activity of making gut strings that, today as in the past, are distinguished by their great sound quality and remarkable resistance. The Quartetto Alla Maniera Italiana is an endorser of ToroStrings.
Lvbeethoven: an incredible site where you can find the entire oeuvre of Ludwig van Beethoven: unpublished pieces, biographies, articles, essays. A titanic work carried out by the staff of the Centro Ricerche Musicali that must be disseminated as much as possible.
Urania Records: an independent label that has been operating near Lake Como since 1998, it has immediately placed side by side with the great composers also the lesser known ones, giving great visibility to rare or unpublished recordings, world premieres and non-traditional repertoires; it is distributed internationally through the best CD distributors and downloads.
Francesco Zappa: for those wishing to learn more about the composer and cellist Francesco Zappa and the curious story that links him to the much better-known American of the same name, Frank Zappa, this site edited by musicologist Jacopo Franzoni and Maestro Vanni Moretto is a must-see.
Atalanta Fugiens: on this site you can find more information on the Archivio della Sinfonia Milanese, on composers from the Milanese area who are still little known to the general public such as Brioschi, Chelleri, Zingarelli, CDs with symphonies by Francesco Zappa and his friend from Como F. P. Ricci.
