Boccherini’s career flourished in Spain, where he served as a court musician for the Infante Don Luis, the younger brother of King Charles III. His time in Spain was highly productive, and he composed a substantial body of work, including over a hundred string quintets, nearly a hundred string quartets, numerous symphonies, and many cello concertos.
Boccherini was one of the leading composers of the late 18th century, a friend and colleague of both Haydn and Mozart, and a formidable cello virtuoso. Although less dramatic than either Haydn or Mozart, his music does have moments of explosive drama that appear all the more effective when bursting fortissimo from an otherwise calm movement. The harmonic shifts are also surprising and used to great effect. His music is sensuous, passionate and dramatic.
