Description:

Boccherini by Gaillard! And "Stabat Mater" with guest Piot! Popular female cellist Ofelie Gaillard and Pulcinella have recorded Boccherini! The ensemble led by Gaillard and Pulcinella's lush orchestral prelude is so refreshing that you can't help but be awestruck, and Gaillard's solo, intimate and warm tone is superb. In addition to the concertos, sonatas, and symphonies, the program also includes one of Boccherini's greatest works, the Stabat Mater for string quintet and solo soprano, with the very popular soprano Sandrine Piau as a guest. Piau's voice is clear and mature, and the string quintet ensemble that accompanies her singing is superb. Boccherini was the first virtuoso cellist in history. Born in Italy, he served at the Prussian and Spanish courts and played throughout Europe. It is no exaggeration to say that it was because of Boccherini that works for the cello, which had previously focused only on the violin, began to be produced.Just as Goya used color to express the liveliness of Madrid in his paintings, Boccherini used the rhythms and melodies of Andalusian dances to express the breath of the people. Gaillard's sensitive and friendly tone is a perfect match for Boccherini. The liveliness of the joyful, dance-like movements is unmatched. It conveys all of Boccherini's charms. King International
