Boccherini: Complete V... - alexandra Nepomnyashchaya Igor Ruhadze - Audio CD (Arrives in 20 days)

Luigi Boccherini was born in the Italian city of Lucca in Tuscany, on 19
February 1743, the son of Leopoldo Boccherini, a cellist and double-bass
player. The young Luigi received his first music lessons from his father
and at the Seminario di San Giovanni in Lucca. The cello was to become
his instrument. At the age of ten, he was apparently already so advanced
that his father sent him to Rome for further studies at the end of
1753, where he possibly remained until 1756. Apart from a brief period in
Vienna around 1760, he was in Lucca until he set out to Paris in the spring
of 1768. Later that year he would go to Spain, where he would remain for
the rest of his life until his death on 28 May 1805.
This new recording is the second volume of the complete violin sonatas,
works in which the pianoforte plays a significant role next to the solo
violin.
