The Tartini String Quartet was founded in 1983 within the society of the same name. In addition to its extensive performances in Slovenia, the Quartet has also appeared in Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and South America, working with the renowned musicians such as Irena Grafenauer, Mate Bekavac, Maria Graf, Bruno Giuranna, Aleksandar Madžar, Franco Gulli, Enrica Cavallo, Konstantin Bogino, Radovan Vlatković and Lovro Pogorelić. The Quartet’s extensive repertoire includes compositions of all style époques, from Baroque to the 20th Century music. When Slovenia joined the European Union, the Tartini Quartet was declared a Slovenian representative and performed in that role within the Europamusicale programme in Madrid, Berlin, Leipzig, Wiesbaden and Munich. From the Konzerthause in Berlin the German Radio broadcast this concert live for the European Radio Union. Bound to their discographer Stradivarius from Milan, the quartet members have released a CD with Ernest Chausson’s Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Quartet with the famous violinist Franco Gulli and the pianist Enrica Cavallo, and the unfinished String Quartet by the same composer. The CD was well received by the professional magazines Amadeus (Milan), The Strad (London) and the Classical Voice review. With David Formissan, the principal flutist of La Scalla, the Quartet has recorded the complete Mozart’s Quartets (K. 285, 285a, 285b and 298) and his String Quartet in G major, K. 378. Its discography also comprises the works by Ravel, Dvořák and Schubert (Death and the Maiden), and a series of string quartets by the Slovenian composers.
