5.0 out of 5 stars Boccherini: String Quintets Op 29, Cello Sonatas/Bylsma, July 29, 2000

This review is from: Luigi Boccherini: String Quintets, Op. 29 / Cello Sonatas - Anner Bylsma / Sigiswald Kuijken / Wieland Kuijken / Alda Stuurop / Lucy van Dael / Hopkinson Smith (Audio CD)

If you like your Baroque chamber music at a rousing fast pace (like I do) then you will really love this CD. Luigi Boccherini is one of my favorite Italian Baroque composers, and this CD is really great. Even if you don't think that you like chamber music because it is too slow and bland, you will change your mind if you listen to this CD.

Be aware! This is a small part of paradise, disguised as a CD...

The Boccherini string quintets are great. Unfortunately I don't yet have a recording of them- the seller did not send the right CD, so instead I have a CD of medieval vocal music :-(
