DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805): Cello Concertos 3Concertos, Nos. 9-12Luigi Boccherini was born in Tuscany in 1743, in thebeautiful old walled town of Lucca and died in Madridin 1805. His was a cultured family. His elder brotherGiovanni Gastone, distinguished as a dancer andchoreographer, was also a poet and wrote opera librettifor Salieri, among others, and the text of Joseph Haydn'soratorio Il ritorno di Tobia. His sister, also a dancer inVienna, married Onorato Vigan?? and was the mother ofthe famous dancer and choreographer Salvatore Vigan??.His father was a professional double bass player andLuigi Boccherini himself made his debut as a cellist atthe age of thirteen. In 1757 he went to study in Rome buthad only been there a few months when both he and hisfather were summoned to Vienna to play in the courtorchestra. Although barely fifteen years old, hisperformance apparently made a deep impression on theViennese musical establishment which suggests that thisreportedly very amiable and affable young virtuoso hadplenty of opportunity to shine as a soloist in concertosand in chamber music.From this time onwards Boccherini's life was a verybusy one and involved much travelling. He returned toLucca on various occasions, finally, in 1764, taking up aposition there in the musical establishment and retaininghis connection there for the following three years. In1766 he embarked on an extended concert tour with theLucca violinist Filipo Manfredi, reaching Paris in 1767.Here he had some of his works published and appearedwith Manfredi at the Concert Spirituel, among otherengagements. It was seemingly in 1768 that Boccheriniand Manfredi travelled to Madrid, very probably withthe promise of enthusiastic patronage from the Spanishcourt. Here Boccherini's principal patron was theSpanish Infante Don Luis for whom he wrote many newworks. In the circumstances in which he found himselfhe was able to continue his particular interest in chambermusic, as shown in his first Paris publications,embarking on his famous series of string quintets, with aconcertante first cello part.Boccherini followed the Infante Don Luis to Avila,after the latter's marriage earned official disapproval,but after the death of the Infante in 1785 he was granteda pension of half his salary by the King. In 1786 he wasappointed chamber composer to the heir to the Prussianthrone, an enthusiastic amateur cellist, who in thefollowing year succeeded his uncle as FriedrichWilhelm II of Prussia. There is no record, however, ofany visit by Boccherini to the court in Berlin. He soughta renewal of his appointment in 1798, after the death ofthe king, but this was not granted. According toBoccherini family tradition he was offered a teachingposition at the new Conservatoire in Paris, where hismusic enjoyed considerable esteem, but graciouslydeclined the offer. In Madrid, however, he had for someyears enjoyed the support of private patrons and wasemployed by the French ambassador to Spain, LucienBonaparte OPINIÓN Lista de canciones: 1.
