Luigi Boccherini - String Quintets Vol. X, Op. 29 flac album

Boccherini: String Quintets, Vol. 2, O. 1 Audio CD. Luigi Boccherini. Boccherini: String Quintets; Minuet in A Audio CD. Europa Galante. This is volume VIII of La Magnifica Comunità's projected recording of all the quintets of Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805), which comprise one of the most magnificent musical accomplishments of the 18th C, the greatest century of musical history.

A string quintet is a musical composition for five string players. As an extension to the string quartet (two violins, a viola, and a cello), a string quintet includes a fifth string instrument, usually a second viola (a so-called "viola quintet") or a second cello (a "cello quintet"), or occasionally a double bass. Notable examples of classic "viola quintets", in four movement form include those of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The String Quintets O. 9 for two violins, viola and two cellos were composed for the Infante in 1779 and represent a peak in Boccherini’s output, both for the magic of their texture and their great formal freedom. They remained unpublished for several years, only printed posthumously by the Parisian publisher Pleyel in 1813. Luigi Boccherini spent his early life in the service of the authorities of his hometown of Lucca, in Tuscany, though his talent as a cellist and composer often saw him travel abroad with his family at this young age. Settling in Spain in 1770, he spent the next 15 years of his life in the service of the Infante Luis Antonio Jaime of Bourbon.
