Alexandre Magnin – flute
Janarek Quartet: 
Bretislav Vybiral, Jiri Novotny, Ladislav Kyselak, Vitezslav Zavadilik

Alexander Magnum and the Janacek Quartet are in top form, and the recorded sound is excellent. Boccherini's flute quitets are some of his finest compositions along wtih the string quitets. These are played with high technical and sensitivity to the sheer beauty of this music. This is a CD I will go back to many times. I was suprised how well the interpretation here fits perfectly with those of the string quintets and oboe quintets in the Boccherini Edition which also should not be missed. My only remaining wish is that that ensemble had also performed the Op. 19 and 55 flute quintets as well. Maybe they will in a later release. If you like instrumental music of the classical period, I think you also will find this album a great pleasure! ---Paul Emmerich, amazon.com
