Luigi Boccherini: Symphonie op.12 no.4 en ré mineur "La casa del Diavolo", G 506 (1771); Symphonie op.35 no.3 en La majeur, G.511 (1782); Symphonie en Ré majeur, G.490 (1765); Symphonie op.35 no.4 en Fa majeur, G.512 (1782); Stabat Mater, G.532 première version 1781; Quintette op.31/4 en ut mineur, G.328 (1780)

"A quite exceptionally fine disc, which I firmly recommend to anyone with an interest in Boccherini. Ensemble 415 is quite small with strings 4.3.2.2.1, and the balance gives us plenty of prominence to the wind. The players are excellent stylists, with an acute feeling for tempo and for filigree quality of Boccherini's string writing. Warmly recommended." (Gramophone)
