Boccherini, Cello Concertos
Boccherini, Cello concertos vol. 3 Nos. 9 - 12
Northern Chamber Orchestra
Nicholas Ward, Raphael Wallfisch
LP, Naxos
Boccherini (1743-1805) came from a cultured Tuscan family
of musicians and dancers. He was a child prodigy in Vienna when
fifteen and from that time on led a busy life. He was in Paris
at the time of Louis XIV and then Spain and Prussia, then Spain
again where his patron was the French ambassodor, Lucien Bonaparte.
These works were only recently rediscovered and Manchester, UK's
Northern Chamber Orchestra have done a very nice job of bringing
them back to us.
