Boccherini: Stabat Mater
Label: harmonia mundi Catalog: 501933/34 Format: CD Agnes Mellon; Ensemble 415, directed by Chiara BanchiniLuigi Boccherini A quite exceptionally fine disc, which I firmly recommend to anyone with an interest in Boccherini. Ensemble 415 is quite small with strings 4.3.2.2.1, and the balance gives plenty of prominence to the wind. The players are excellent stylists, with an acute feeling for tempo and for the filigree quality of Boccherini's string writing. Warmly Price: $19.98 |
