Recorded in Cremona’s Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi, renowned for its acoustics and specifically crafted to amplify the authentic soul of string instruments.

The Quartet Solo Instruments

The Cremona Quartet features four of the world’s most valuable string instruments, delivering their sound with stunning authenticity. With phase-aligned stereo samples and carefully sampled chromatic articulations, you can explore every nuance and detail of these historic instruments. It offers a wide variety of articulations, multiple microphone options, finger position, and real-time vibrato control.

The Instruments

The Cremona Quartet Ensemble reimagines four legendary stringed instruments as a unified virtual ensemble.

Antonio Stradivari is the most famous luthier in the history of violin making. His ‘Vesuvius’ violin was built in 1727.

The second violin in the quartet is Guarneri’s ‘Prince Doria’, built in 1734.

Stradivari also made other stringed instruments. His ‘Stauffer’ cello, built in 1700, is listed as an Italian national treasure.

The quartet’s oldest instrument, the ‘Stauffer’ viola, built by Gerolamo Amati in 1614.
