Innocence and Experience

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.
