That painting is a bit weird...apart from the woman carrying a boulder on her head, futher down stream there seems to be a centaur casting a fishing net, but next to him is some kind of mutant ape-man with gibbon-esque arms. Fuck it... i'm stoned... time for bed!
Most self-appointed critics of music do not have so little as a personal physical definition of "music". My definition of that aspect is: music is--rhythm, melody, harmony, and sometimes, silence; all of which elements seek balance. To the spiritual dimension, add: music recalls--emotions, aspirations, and love; all of which elements also seek balance. Classical composers used these elements intuitively. Boccherini was one.
I do love Boccherini and am learning his G Major concerto. I'm also very excited that I get to see this concerto live next week. Thank you for posting this!
@violin233 I believe you're thinking of the B flat major concerto. Friedrich Grützmacher believed the second movement of the B flat was not romantic enough; therefore, he took the second movement of the G major concerto and re-arranged it for the B flat major concerto. :)
I can't believe I've never heard this guys name before. I've listened to several of his pieces and all of them are familiar but I just learned his name. Obviously I've been under an anti-Boccherini rock! Damn rock.
Depend of the point of view. I put Mozart as king of operas during the classical period. But he is not the king of instrumental music even if he composed decent music there.
@jonathantosio you may have listened to that piece before playing, and unconciously played something similar, listened again, and realized where your ideas came from?
boccherini is good, I just wish he would flush out the inner harmonies more

Grutzmacher wrote a popular Haydn D cadenza and also did a lot with Boccherini's music. is the cadenza in this Grutzmachers?

Always a pleasure to listen to a piece by Mr. Boccherini.

Boccherini and Mozart are my favorite composers of the "Classical Period". I love his symphonies and concertos. I never tire of listening to them.

From Boccherini's large work (93 quartets, 123 quintets, 20 symphonies...) only few survived, like this wonderful Concerto in D major G483.

I like that they use a fortepiano to play the continuo part.

The 1st half of THAT CADENZA IS THE ONE I PLAYED IN HAYDN D!
... what the?

Hmm. I daresay that there may be a dark classical cello conspiracy going on! lol.
Seriously though, that it is bizarre.

Always great to see new uploads, thanks for a great selection! Uploaded some Boccherini myself recently, an unfairly neglected composer.

Yes, I feel that alot of composers from the classical era have been severely neglected. There was more to the classical era besides Mozart and Haydn.
