Review Excerpts
Don’t worry if you missed the first eight of Boccherini’s cello concertos: the four to listen to here are excellent music, and played by that prince of cellists, Raphael Wallfisch.
Manchester Evening News
…Raphael Wallfisch proves to be a most stylish and sympathetic performer… Throughout, Wallfisch plays his own cadenzas which are free from Romantic bluster and empty virtuosity. The partnership with the Northern Chamber Orchestra works very well.
BBC Music Magazine
...the sympathetic orchestral contribution is suitably balanced and plays no small part in this recording’s success… some especially enjoyable music making, while the orchestral oboes, horns and strings contribute substantially to the joie de vivre of the finale.
