【About the music...】
The Italian cellist and composer Luigi Boccherini was born in Lucca in 1743, boccherini's style is completely characteristic of the period in which he lived, the period, that is, of Haydn rather than that of Mozart or Beethoven. He enjoyed a reputation for his facility as a composer, leaving some 467 compositions. A great deal of his music is designed to exploit the technical resources of the cello, in concertos, sonatas, and, particularly, in chamber music for various numbers of instruments, including a remarkable series of quintets with two cellos.
The twelve quintets for guitar and string quartet, of which eight have survived, are arrangements by the composer of works written for pianoforte quintet in the late 1790s. The set of six quintets here recorded were dedicated to the Marquès de Bénavent, an enthusiastic amateur guitarist. The fourth of the series, in D major, starts with a Pastorale, in the mood of a Baroque Christmas concerto and ends with a lively Spanish dance, the Fandango.
