9 Quintetti per Chit. 2 Vl. Vla, Cello

Notes Vol. 77 No. 3 (March 2021)

... As with the other published volumes in the series, this is a well-prepared and presented edition. The preface to the edition outlines editorial symbols, and the critical commentary gives detailed information about decisions taken in the editorial process. The editorial additions in the music are clear and discrete and do not overcomplicate the musical text. Performance terms typically used by Boccherini have also been maintained. ... The Luigi Boccherini Opera Omnia edition series is filling an important gap in the availability of scholarly and authoritative editions of Boccherini’s works, and is playing an important role in the promotion of his music to a wider audience. The present edition of Boccherini’s guitar quintets is no exception. (Loukia Drosopoulou)
