Free Music Notes for Vaughan Williams: Hugh The DroverFree Music Review: Very enjoyable and well-written symphoniesAs you can see from some of the other reviews of this album, Amazon has mixed up this album with some other works. That's par for the course; poor Luigi never did get the recognition he deserved. I suppose, as one other reviewer has inferred, he was a second-rate Haydn. Probably, Boccherini, good-natured soul that he was, would have accepted that as a complement. Having lived in Madrid, Spain for the last thirty-five years of his life, his late baroque music is infused with lively Spanish folk idioms and a sense of good-naturedness befitting a milder climate. This is the second album of Boccherini symphonies that Hyperion has released, and the recording quality is of Hyperion's usual very high standards. As the album notes state, these symphonies have delightful little melodic and harmonic surprises hidden in them at every turn. In fact, the sense of delight is scattered liberally through these symphonies. They make superlative background music to entertain while driving or just working around the house. They are not, however, pieces of music that you are going to want to sit down and really concentrate on listening to as you would some music by Beethoven. Neverthess, they are truly enjoyable works, guaranteed to lift your spirits and brighten your day.
