The Italian instrumental group that quickly gained international fame, Quartetto Italiano, were formed in a period of national isolation: the campaign to colonize Ethiopia, the alliance with Germany, and then the war, had limited the presence of international ensembles in Italy, and had at first made difficult, and then blocked, foreign travel by young musicians. Quartetto Italiano, the string quartet founded by Paolo Borciani in Reggio Emilia in 1945, are particularly noted for their activities and for their historic performances. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonín Dvořák are featured in this 1968 recital.
