Luigi Boccherini
#1
for those of you who like classical music and don't know who Luigi Boccherini is i recommend you to check him out. he was an Italian composer in the 18th century. criminally underrated; i'm surprised by how many people haven't even heard of him. i've known his work for years and consider him a genius.

his La musica notturna delle strade di Madrid (G324) has some of the most moving violin i've ever heard in my life (it's also in the film Master and Commander -- the Far Side of the World). and his Quintetto n.4 in D major ''Fandango'' (G448) is excruciatingly beautiful (it starts from 10 minutes in in the first video).

my life would be a lesser life if i never heard Boccherini. i hope some of you can discover something for yourself here as well.

Too bad, Meridannight, that more people do not simply try classical music. Checking out a few CDs at the public library could yield wonders.

One of my favourite composers.

We always have listened to classical music and it now represents about 90% of what we listen to each day. So we have a little Boccherini every day.

I'm a sucker for all the cello concertos and the guitar quintets.

I honestly don't know if I have a favourite among them.
