5 out of 5 stars barefoot kicker.......2007-01-10

Boccherini's Quintets for Guitar and Strings do not highlight the guitar as solo instrument in the way that better-known Baroque concerti frame and focus upon their respective solo instruments. Rather, the instrument insinuates itself into a company of strings and plays along with them, sometimes providing a steady background and occasionally emerging as a conventional soloist.

Like a soccer player who becomes an NFL kicker, this unexpected entree of the guitar into an unfamiliar environment displays pleasing crossover skills and unanticipated potentialities.

The Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble gives a truly splendid performance. Boccherini writes for a vivacious violin, and he certainly finds his desideratum among this ensemble. Indeed, the violin is arguably more prominent in this music than the guitar.

One does not finish a careful hearing of this performance astonished by Pepe Romero's technical virtuosity. Boccherini does not set this artist up for such an outcome. Rather, one concludes with admiration and gratitude for Romero's ability to sublimate certain soloist prerogatives and integrate himself fully into this string-ish company, where he plays with evident cameraderie.

The quality of the sounds produced by the Philips engineers is stunning, a word one strives not to use loosely.

¡Viva Romero and his tribe!

Field goals and extra points, after all, win football games.

5 out of 5 stars Vivid & stylish performances.......2006-10-26

Pepe Romero teams up with members from the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields Chamber Orchestra. Though originally released in the late 1970's, this is still the best recording of the guitar quintets of Luigi Boccherini. The playing is first rate, and the balance between guitar and strings is just right. (In most such recordings the guitar is either inaudible or unnaturally bloated.) Personally I'm not fond of all Boccherini's guitar quintets--one critic grumped that they're more fun to play than to hear. But No. 4 with its famous "Fandango" and No. 9 "La Ritirata di Madrid" are delightful.

4 out of 5 stars Joyous.......2005-12-06

A joyous celebration. That's the best way I can describe his music. It transport me to the past where I can wander around with grand ladies and gentlemen of the court, or go sailing off into the mist.

5 out of 5 stars "Lovely melodies spill forth unhindered".......2006-04-10

Luigi Boccherini (1743 - 1805): Guitar Quintets Vol. 1 (G. 450; G. 449; G. 448 "Fandango"). Performed by Richard Savino, guitar, and the Artaria Quartet (Elizabeth Blumenstock, Katherine Kyme, Anthony Martin and Elisabeth Le Guin).
Recorded in October, 1989, by Skywalker Sound, Nicasio, California.
Harmonia Mundi. Originally released as HMU 907026. Re-released in 2001 in the Classical Express series as HCX 3957026. Total time: 56'54".

Luigi Boccherini was, in fact, a cellist, and is today perhaps best remembered for his cello concertos, which, in his day, were considered to be on a par with Haydn. Boccherini was a major figure in the European music scene at the end of the 18th century, and that despite the fact that he spent a great part of his life in provincial Spain, away from the great cultural centers of Europe. His large musical output was by no means limited to cello concertos; he produced symphonies and a great deal of chamber music, especially quartets and quintets. A number of these he re-worked towards the end of his life, adding a guitar and thus giving the pieces a peculiarly Spanish flavor. Elisabeth Le Guin and Richard Savino describe the resulting sound in the CD booklet, and their description is so accurate that I would like to quote it here: "Boccherini creates a handsome blend, using the guitar variously as a sonic underlay, rather like continuo, and as a sweet-voiced soloist. What is most endearing, as always in Boccherini, is his artlessness. Lovely melodies spill forth unhindered ..."

The performance on this CD is as accurate and as charming as the verbal description quoted above. There is no competition here between soloist and string quartet, but rather a delightful harmony that makes for relaxing listening where one can allow oneself the luxury of following now one instrument, then another, the guitar being all the while present but never dominant. This is made a further pleasure by the pleasant acoustics and the wonderful engineering. Full marks! After hearing this, I soon went on to buy the other two discs in this series, both equally enjoyable.

    5 out of 5 stars If you like Vivaldi, you'll LOVE Boccherini!.......2007-05-20

    I credit the film MASTER AND COMMANDER with introducing me to Boccherini's music. My wife and I bought the soundtrack CD, which has the piece where a cello is strummed like a guitar--remember?

    This is one of 5 CDs I then purchased to find out what other wonderful music this man created. Often Boccherini gives his pieces an interesting Spanish flavor. (Not surprising, since he moved from Italy to Spain.)

    Although Boccherini died in poverty in his old age (as did Vivaldi, whose joyous music is so similar in spirit), his quintets and other works seem to be attacting much attention nowadays.

    We often buy music for the moods it creates in us. If you wish to own some highly inventive and original feel-good music, this CD would be an excellent choice.

    Since buying this for myself, I have given this CD as a gift to two of my best friends in the past month.

    This is one of those CDs that are hard to take out of the player, so wonderful is the music, accomplished the playing, and realistic the sound. Boccherini churned out music bursting with attractive melodies and splendid instrumental effects, though without quite the level of sophisticated development and emotional depth that would enable history to rank him on the Mozart-Beethoven level. Still, it would be a terrible shame to miss music of such winning charm. It's not just pretty, either, as witness the inventive string writing in the first movement of the fourth quartet of the set, wonderfully marked "allegro bizzarro." And the Larghetto of that work is expressive, as are the slow movements throughout. The Borciani Quartet is named for their teacher, the leader of the great Quartetto Italiano, and their performance is firmly in the hallowed tradition of that group: big-toned, alert to nuances, and flawlessly played. There's 79 minutes of pure delight on this disc, a bargain if ever there was one. --Dan Davis

    4 out of 5 stars Virtuoso playing.......2006-03-14

    This recording, (and the recording of the other two quartets from Op. 32 on 8.555042) is a bargain if you are captivated by Boccherini. I suppose he is an acquired taste, not so beloved by those who prefer Haydn's superior intellectual gifts. But as pure music, Boccherini's is wonderful.

    The alternative set on Das Alte Werk (Telfunken), (which I have on LP), by Quartetto Esterhazy is much more characterful on original instruments. But that doesn't necessarily make it better.

    These performances are somewhat more "modern" sounding, clean cut, virtuoso, lots of brio etc. Very much in the Italianite tradition, you might say.

    People who already love Boccherini will probably buy both. If you haven't sampled Boccherini before, start here. The price is right!

      5 out of 5 stars Not just for Christmas.......2001-01-07

      Even though I recieved this CD after Christmas, I've enjoyed the music more than most of my recent purchases. There are only a couple of selections that would be considered Christmas carols, but even those, along with the others, are some of the loveliest music you could hope to find. Relaxing and uplifting at the same time. I'll be playing this all year round.

      5 out of 5 stars This music is heavenly!.......2000-12-14

      While not all of the music presented on this CD is what one would consider "traditional" Christmas fare, I happen to find this a refreshing mix of recognized Christmas favorites tossed in with a wonderful rendition of great classical favorites. This pairing makes for a delightful classical Christmas CD which is both contemplative yet stirring. It happens to be the favorite Holiday CD in my collection. In fact, when Christmas is over, I hate to put it away!
