This excellent disc explores the familiar and less familiar sides of Boccherini. There is the familiar 'Fandango' Guitar Quintet and two Symphonies as well as the 'La Musica Notturna Delle Strade di Madrid' which was usd in the film 'Master and Commander'. The Concert des Nations play with style and skill and Jordi Savall is the conductor. The disc is recorded in a church whose ambience is beautifully caught by the engineers who achieve the right degree of warnth and clarity. I have listened in two channel SACD which is a complete revelation and demonstrates the superiority of the format over CD perfectly. (The cd sound on the disc is also very good). I simply don't know why the SACD format is now only available from a few enterprising independent labels.
Anyone wishing to explore this somewhat neglected composer should try this disc.

Format:Audio CD
We first heard one of these tracks (La Musica Notturna di Madrid) on the film Master and Commander - it's the piece played by the two main characters at the end of the film. We had the subtitles on and quickly noted down the title. It's a delightful piece and the rest of the CD is a joy to listen to.

Another cracker from Jordi Savall & Co.
Boccherini is unfortunately remembered mostly for a small, but sweet, minuet, a piece often played whilst children were assembling in the morning at my junior school many decades... Read more

The unfamiliar Boccherini
I am used to Boccherini's chamber music and so it came as something as a pleasant surprise to find that Boccherini's music had been used on the film 'Master and Commander' and was... Read more
