Chamber Players
What are the best chamber groups or string ensembles?
I know my orchestras and conductors, my pianists and violinists, getting to know the vocalists and choirs/opera theatres. But I know next to nothing about chamber groups! When I search anything else I obviously see names and recordings I know, but even just wading through YouTube chamber performances is tough since I rarely recognize the players or groups...
If you could give me a short list of great string ensembles, or small chamber groups in general, and a little info on what you think of them (general style, stuff like that), I'd be much obliged 
¡Gracias!
I really love a chamber group that plays in my city: Adelaide Chamber Players (I think thats what they called....)
My favourite ensemble is a baroque ensemble: Il Giardino Armonico. They are conducted by Giovanni Antonini, who is splendid as conducter. His interpretations allow the musicians plenty of freedom (as he said himself!) but they are so true to the Baroque era..
(Antonini also solos with recorder and flute:

and the lutenist is the best! Luca Pianca.... he has a few solo albums!
