Title: Really nice stuff
Review: This CD was my introduction to Boccherini. The only things I had heard were a couple of his more famous movements on collection CDs. This is a very enjoyable listen. And what some other reviewers have said is true: Boccherini seems much less self-absorbed than other composers; he doesn't seem to be writing to impress anybody, but just for the enjoyment of the music. This music has an innocence and creativity that is refreshing. It is also well-performed on this CD. I've never heard any other versions of this particular music to compare it to, but I've heard enough performances of music from this period to know that these musicians are very relaxed, and putting a good deal of themselves into it. Well worth looking into.
