Boccherini's Gold

Boccherini’s Gold explores the seldom performed/recorded but wonderfully inventive chamber works of Luigi Boccherini for flute. The project has incorporated private recording preview concerts and a major recording at the new Adelaide Baroque Hall of his Opus 19 Quintets, Quintet in C (no Opus number) and Notturno (Sestetto no. 1). Existing editions pose dilemmas of discrepancies in Opus numbers and interpretation of terms.
