String Quintets.
Boccherini: String Quintets. Fabio Biondi, Europa Galante. Virgin Veritas 7243 5 45421 21.
Knowing violinist Fabio Biondi and his Europa Galante ensemble from a number of previous recordings, I rather expected this outing of Boccherini string quintets to be extremely fast paced and perhaps lacking in charm. Wrong. Biondi does favor quick tempos, to be sure, but they are sprightly and light and never lose touch with the essential sweetness of Boccherini's music. I was favorably impressed by all three of the works for violin, viola, and cello presented here, all done on period instruments or facsimiles.
The four compositions represented are the Quintets Nos. 1, 4, and 6, Op. ...
