Peter Mund castanets (track 11)


In these charming works, Boccherini creates a handsome blend of instruments, spotlighting the guitar both as a sweet-voiced soloist and as a supporting player. Includes the famous Fandango featuring the castanets.

´ Archet court, mais généreux, frottant de fort beaux instruments, vibrato discret, expression classique. Avec en plus ce raffinement des articulations et cette clarification du discours alambiqué chez Boccherini. […] on ne peut que recommander cet enregistrement. ª
