One of the great masters of Spanish Baroque guitar, Boccherini charms with pastoral grace and dashing flair. The extraordinary originality of Lutosławski’s Partita gains an extra intimacy with semi-improvised elements (especially when performed by CFC’s husband-and-wife Artistic Directors), as a floating texture and long lyrical arcs contrast with dark driving energetic forces. Grainger’s arrangement of Gershwin’s folk opera is a powerful fantasia, and then innocence makes a comeback with a youthful piano quintet, packed with inexhaustible spontaneity from its bold, assertive opening to joyful fiddling finish.
