The four gentlemen of the Rastrelli Cello Quartet began working together in 2002 and have devoted themselves to exploring and experiencing the cello’s world of sound. The very personal bond that the quartet has with its home city of St. Petersburg in northern Russia is manifest through the name they chose for their group. Bartholomeo Rastrelli, an 18th century architect, was responsible for a number of prominent historical buildings in St. Petersburg that shaped the city like no other. The four Rastrelli cellists perform only music they love - from Brahms to the Beatles. They can make those cellos have varied and wonderful sounds. http://rastrelli.de/en
