Scala K�ln - Luigi Boccherini: Chamber Music

Luigi Boccherini's contemporaries ranked him with Joseph Haydn, but during later times the high esteem enjoyed by his music faded - when everything of Italian origin that was not an opera was generally dismissed. The young musicians of Scala k�ln believe that it is high time to re-open Boccherini's case and are now presenting the results of their new investigation: a delightful program demonstrating that Boccherini's treasure trove holds more in store than just his famous Minuet.Featuring the Quintetto in C major, Trio Secondo in G major, Quintetto Secondo in F major, Quintetto Quinto in E flat major and the Serenade in D major, the musicians of Scala k�ln, led by the violinist Christoph Mayer and the oboist Monika Nielen, bring this music to the stage in fresh new interpretations that are historically informed and feature period instruments.
