Simple Elegance, Oct 4 2007

This review is from: Boccherini: Complete Guitar Q (Audio CD)
Say what you will about Boccherini, but his confections make the most exquisite background music. Brilliant has released a whole series of very reasonably priced original recordings of Boccherini's music. While the performances here don't ooze the last drop of style a la Europa Galante (Boccherini: String Quintets; Minuet in A /Europa Galante * Biondi), they are nonetheless beautifully played and recorded using period instruments and exude a simple, easygoing elegance.

Complete? Well, not quite, Oct 2 2008
By Eugene C. Braig IV "euge-o-rama" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boccherini: Complete Guitar Q (Audio CD)
Nicely played and quality sound. Roselli is a competent guitarist with real panache for classical-era chamber music on period guitars. ...And Brilliant Classics has real panache for assembling quality performances of various "complete" musical sets in multi-CD sets. However, the quintet in E minor, G 451 (my personal favorite of the Boccherini guitar quintets) is very clearly omitted from this technically near-but-not-quite-complete set. Once more to be perfectly clear, Boccherini's E minor guitar quintet, the one often named no.7, is NOT included in this set in spite of its "complete" label.For a complete modern recording, consider Pepe Romero and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble on Philips Duo (Boccherini: Quintets For Guitar And Strings). For an actually complete (with the addition of an additional fine quintet by Mauro Giuliani) near-period-instrument recording (Savino uses a fine 6-string 19th-c. guitar where Boccherini almost certainly worked with a guitar in courses of paired strings--similar to the modern 12-string--in mind), consider the 3-CD series by Richard savino and the Artaria Quartet on Harmonia Mundi (Luigi Boccherini: Quintets I, II & III for String Quartet & Guitar - The Artaria Quartet / Richard Savino, Luigi Boccherini: Quintets IV, V & VI for String Quartet & Guitar - The Artaria Quartet / Richard Savino, and Luigi Boccherini: Quintets VII & VIII for String Quartet & Guitar / Mauro Giuliani: Gran Quintetto, Op. 65 - The Artaria Quartet / Richard Savino, also re-released on their budget line).

CLASSIEUX !, Sep 18 2011
By PVP "Markala" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boccherini: Complete Guitar Q (Audio CD)
Célèbres partitions de Boccherini qu'il arrange à la fin de sa vie, vers 1800, à partir de son propre matériel (les quintets pour piano de l'opus 57) revisité à la demande de son Editeur Pleyel.Le passage du piano à la guitare modifie évidemment la balance instrumentale de l'ensemble ; la guitare ayant traditionnellement, sauf pour les pièces qui lui sont spécifiquement dédiées, un rôle assigné à la basse continue.
Boccherini, compositeur très "galant", certainement plus préoccupé par la force de ses lignes mélodiques que par la nécessité de leur contrepoint, livre 7 quintettes aussi harmonieux les uns que les autres. Il aurait qualifié ces pièces de "grande" en raison de leurs 4 mouvements développant tout leur matériel thématique et notamment, comme dans le final du 4ème, celui inspiré du folklore espagnol, le célèbre "fandango".
Ce coffret n'est peut-être pas la meilleure version de ce répertoire (quoi que...) mais le guitariste Eros Roselli illumine l'ensemble par son jeu très fluide alors que La Magnifica Communita, en léger retrait, s'exprime avec grâce et poésie, dans un discours où chacun se laisse la parole, avec une grande courtoisie.
Son prix, économique, le place surement en pôle position d'une foule de productions.
Seule l'absence d'une parfaite transparence dans l'enregistrement me freine pour donner 5 étoiles à ce volume.
Listmania!
