Symphonies (La Casa Del Diablo)
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Boccherini's symphonies occupy an intriguing middle ground between the galant elegance of his Italian contemporaries and the more structured drama of the Classical mainstream—and this 1997 recording by violinist Chiara Banchini's Ensemble 415 captures that restless sophistication beautifully. The program spans two decades of the composer's symphonic output, from the early 1760s through the 1780s, showcasing his gift for ornate string writing and unexpected harmonic turns. The famous "La Casa Del Diablo" opens the programme with its stormy D-minor character, a rare moment of genuine turbulence in Boccherini's typically refined world. On period instruments, these works emerge with transparency and urgency, each movement revealing the precision of Boccherini's craft—the interplay between strings, the architectural clarity of his themes—without the romantic cushioning of modern orchestration. It's an excellent entry point for those curious about how the Italian symphonic tradition sounded before it was overshadowed by the Viennese giants.
