Spanish 'period' instrumentalists in new recordings of under-rated chamber music from the golden age of
Classicism, full of musical sunshine and summer breezes.

A much-underrated composer, Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805) was one of the leading composers of the late 18th century, a friend and colleague of both Haydn and Mozart, and a formidable cello virtuoso.
Although less dramatic than either Haydn or Mozart, his music does have moments of explosive drama that appear all the more effective when bursting fortissimo from an otherwise calm movement. The
harmonic shifts are also surprising and used to great effect. His music is sensuous, passionate and dramatic.

This new 3-CD set contains the complete Flute Quintets, for solo flute and string quartet. Music of great charm, vitality, brilliance, and sincere deep feelings.

Played on period instruments by flutist Rafael Ruibérriz de Torres, who studied with Wilbert Hazelzet and who played with Gustav Leonhardt, Philippe Herreweghe and Jos van Immerseel, and the
Spanish Francisco de Goya String Quartet.
