Luigi BOCCHERINI (1743-1805)
Cello Concertos Vol.3 Nos.9-12
Raphael Wallfisch (Cello), Northern Chamber Orchestra/ Nicholas Ward
January sees the eagerly anticipated unveiling of the third and final volume in the Naxos series of Boccherini’s Cello Concertos, performed by Raphael Wallfisch and the Northern Chamber Orchestra.
The reputation of Boccherini rivalled that of Haydn, if the nickname ‘the wife of Haydn’ may be accepted as evidence of contemporary fame! He was a virtuoso cellist and worked first in his native Lucca and then in Vienna, before moving to Paris and thence to Spain, where he seems to have remained from 1768 until his death.
Of Boccherini’s surviving cello concertos the Concerto No.7 in G major is probably the best known, closely rivalled by a B flat Cello Concerto arranged by the 19th century cellist Grützmacher. This new disc includes a performance of the Concerto No.12, a work only discovered in 1987.
“These days it comes as a refreshing change to have 18th century music back on modern, not period instruments. These performances have the best of both worlds, with Anthony Halstead drawing fresh, resilient playing from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and with Tim Hugh an immaculate soloist, lively in allegros and tenderly reflective in slow movements. These are early works which show Boccherini at his most attractively individual.” The Guardian on 8553572
