“They are men on a mission. The Rastrelli Cello Quartet is out
to cross all genres.” Strings Magazine (USA)
“Fiendish cello skills!” Kieler Nachrichten (Germany)
“It is not so much the format of this ensemble that is unique, but rather the
unusual skill of the musicians, the team spirit and the ability to entice the
audience to follow them.” Neue Züricher Zeitung (Switzerland)
The Rastrelli Cello Quartet is based in Germany, but in the music world they
are known as a Russian ensemble. The name of Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, one
of the architects who created the image of the historic centre of St Petersburg,
did not appear in the ensemble’s name by chance: three of the musicians in the
quartet trained in the St Petersburg cello school. The Rastrelli Cello
Quartet was formed in 2002. The idea of forming a quartet consisting only of
cellos proved successful, and this orchestra became the first such ensemble in
Russia to receive acclaim both at home and abroad. The geography of the
quartet’s tours covers over thirty countries, from the USA to Australia. The
ensemble has appeared at almost every major festival in Europe and given more
than seven hundred concerts, some two hundred and fifty of them in the USA.
The quartet’s repertoire is highly diverse. Its members are convinced that
the cello perfectly suits music of any movement or genre, from the classical
legacy to jazz, the Argentinean tango and rock. The quartet only performs
arrangements; all of the music at their concerts has been arranged by Sergei
Drabkin. The ensemble seeks out opportunities to combine the timbre of the
cello with the sound of other instruments. The Rastrelli Cello Quartet performs
programmes with symphony orchestras, appears with clarinettist Giora Feidman,
violinist Gilles Apap, the King’s Singers chorus (Great Britain) and
collaborates with Russian rock and pop musicians including Andrei Samsonov and
Svetlana Surganova. Together with Sergei Shnurov the quartet recorded the album
Small Leningrad Symphony, which in November 2014 was in the top ten list of the
most popular compositions iTunes Russia for four weeks.
