When one thinks of the Classical era, it is usually the Viennese School – namely Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven – which springs to mind. There were, however, a great many other talented composers around during this time who achieved much popularity in their day. Luigi Boccherini, who enjoyed a wealth of patronage as well as a prolific output, is one such example. Pleasant, engaging and sometimes surprisingly inventive, his symphonies, together with the trios (a new coupling on this release) offer the listener a unique insight into a composer whose music deserves to be better known.
