Boccherini: La Musica Notturna Di Madrid
) | Label: harmonia mundi Catalog: 902092 Format: CD Cuarteto Casals, Chamber ensemble; Eckart Runge, Cello; Carles Trepat, GuitarLuigi Boccherini Boccherini owes his celebrity to more than just the Minuet of the Quintet op.11 no.5 (although that can be heard here too)! This recording proves the fact with stunning brilliance: from the castanets of the Fandango to the much more Viennese style of the String Quartet, the musicians of the Cuarteto Casals and their guests demonstrate the infinite creative resources of the composer. It culminates in the Night Music of the Streets of Madrid, a vivid example of musical realism in which, as Boccherini put it, 'the strict rules of counterpoint' would be out of place!  Price: $20.98 |
