It is undoubtedly in the richness of the cello part that Boccherini’s great talent is to be found: technical skill is combined with ardent expressiveness - a fact that was recognized throughout 18th-century Europe. It is surely significant that when he died in 1805 the obituarists stresses the fact that ‘in earlier days he was an excellent cellist who produced a bewitching effect by the incomparable tone expressive melodiousness of this instrument.’ A french writer echoed this german tribute, describing Boccherini as ‘a marvellous cellist who captivated us above all by the incomparable sonority and intense exppressiveness of his playing.’ These two nations had different attitudes to Boccherini as a composer but they were thus far unanimous.

Wonderful. I'm more fond of the cello than of the violin. So keep these cello concertos coming.

Very beautiful the last movement of the third concerto with the pseudo Vivaldi seasons mood.

Thank you for the great music !!!

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser vier spätklassischen und fein komponierten Konzerte mit mildem doch gut phrasiertem Ton des technisch perfekten Solocellos sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Die beiden intelligenten und gnialen Dirigenten leiten die beiden ausgezeichneten Kammerorchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit angenenhemer Dynamik. Alles ist wundervoll!
Leo Bel
Grazie! Bellissima!
