BOCCHERINI Night Music of the Streets of Madrid - Music From Angel Fire 

“The bird’s flightless, Stephen?” “Yes.” “It’s not going anywhere.”

I am a recent convert to Boccherini. So glad I found him. Thanks to Master and Commander.

Got to hand it to the Movies from time to time for introducing the masses to wonderful pieces of music. Bravo

This is the musical selection for the final scene of the movie Master and Commander. I hear it and I can't stop smiling.

This Cellist is great! How can it be otherwise? Boccherini was a virtuoso cellist. A great composer of course, he wrote this song. This song shows the Cello as such a fine melody instrument, yet capable of playing lower tones to accompany the higher toned stringed instruments. I love how the Cellist gets excited to play his melody - a little too early! And he doesn't. He waits and nails the song. This Cellist is very talented. Wonderful technique and a beautiful sound!

Boccherini se inspiró en su viaje a la España del siglo XVIii - Magnifica interpretación

Desde mi adorado Madrid, maravilloso un saludo especial

Awesome.. you're excellent musicians...and Boccherini is a masterpiece ❤❤❤

Wonderful. Boccherrini is my favourite.

Such a beautiful homage to the music. So playful and light. You can imagine them playing at a party or among your friends, everyone (hopefully) just having a wonderful time. Wish I could have been dancing in Madrid :) (The central cellist is clearly the group leader, so encouraging and animated. Love it; and part of the reason why this group is amazing.} Opinions mine.*

Boccherini is almost always a pleasant surprise, different and entertaining. Really good interpretation.

Amazing what hearing a favorite piece of music-not heard for years- does to one

Experiencing this was an absolute pleasure.

This is beyond BRILLIANT ---Bravo

Desde un rincón de mi querido Madrid, que gozada de música, gracias Bocherini y gracias maestros por vuestra dedicación

Felicitaciones... Me han hecho soñar, dormir... tal vez pensar...

Tan bella como Madrid

So wonderful and so modern despite its age. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful, lively, fresh, inspired, energetic, beautiful, cultured, driving and superb in execution. Bravo.

This is one of my favourite pieces and is one of the first that I heard after starting to listen to classical music. I bought a fantastic mobile phone speaker and it has transformed the sound of the phone. No longer is it all treble without any real sense of bass but now I can hear the full spectrum of sound

I love the staely and serene joy of this piece...a very fine interpretation.

Magical nights of Madrid.

I love this piece and this is the best interpretation I've ever heard. Pure delight to listen to. Thanks for sharing!

Ho riscoperto da poco questo incantevole pezzo di Boccherini e ne sono follemente innamorata. Avevo visto il film allora ed anche in TV, ma mi ero completamente dimenticata della musica suonata, ad un certo punto, dal protagonista (Russell Crow). O meglio non ci ho fatto caso. Ma ora nooo. ..E ,vagabondando nel mare della rete, ho scoperto Fandango, in varie interpretazioni. Una delizia! E come stupore e piacere, e con orgoglio di Italiana, ho letto i commenti entusiastici di ammirazione , dei nostri cugini spagnoli verso di lui. Egli è molto più acclamato in Spagna, dove si trasferì con la famiglia, chiamato dai Reali Borbone di Spagna in qualità di Maestro di Musica di Corte, e vi restò per tutta la vita, raccogliendo onori e successo. Purtroppo alla fine della vita fu travolto dalla tragedia : lutti in famiglia e dei principi che lo proteggevano e l'invasione napoleonica che fece fuggire l'intera Famiglia Reale ed il Paese sconquassato dalle rivolte popolari e la brutale reazione francese. Morì povero, con una misera pensione. Egli rappresentò vividamente la Spagna in tutti i suoi aspetti, come lo fu il quasi contemporaneo grande pittore Francisco Goya. E di questo ho avuto la sensazione , più che certa, della eterna, riconoscente ammirazione di quel popolo nostro cugino. Egli è più celebre là che qua in Italia. Quasi quasi sconosciuto oserei dire. e

a real joy! stunning for 1780!

Big thanks to Him I'm still able to listen to this so so cool

Thanks to each of you for an inspiring rendition. I have always wanted to play a stringed violin/viola/cello (piano player) but now more than EVER!!!

I very much love this version of the song... Plenty of spirit here!

Excelente y muy cuidada interpretación de esta maravillosa pieza de Boccherini. Felicitaciones y gracias por compartirla

Gracias por hacernos escuchar esta magnífica interpretación de la "música nocturna en las calles de Madrid" de Boccherini.

Das ist wunderschön musika!

Bravo. Angel Fire * this touches my soul

Thank you! I've loved this for a long time, and it's nice to see it performed with the spriteliness and grandeur it deserves!

This is beautiful. Thanks so much guys. I could listen to this all day.

Lovely 😍

Magnificent! This has got to be one of the best interpretations of this piece I've ever heard. I've often felt that Luigi Boccherini is woefully underappreciated. And more's the pity. 242 years ago, this piece was clearly ahead of it's time. Thank you for posting this.

Master and Commander brought me here⛵

Nice, the five guys :-) MaxiVersion from the art of a verry good Sound. I Love it

what a great song. what a great quintet. I think the movement from 7:35-10:23 is my favorite excerpt from any quintet piece ever. Or quartet! Thanks for sharing music. Just a great way to live.

This is fantastic. and yes a recent convert also, having just been unaware of Boccherini (although I did know the section from M&C !) and so it was actually thanks to R3 (BBC) and only last week hearing Fandango, Quintet in D major G448 for the first time. Absolutely inspired, and this is the same. Thank you so much for this , a great performance. spriteliness and grandeur for sure!

Pas courant d'entendre ce tempo. Très beau !

Magnífica interpretación...............muy bien conseguida

back for my New Years Fix.. will be back in this life or tha next..

This comfort is irreplaceable , andincomparable

Magnifique!!!

the violin part 8:30 is the most beautiful version of that part in any version of the song I have ever heard

The opening sounds very modern! I really love the piece and quintet has done a fine job!

Lovely joyful video. I am glad I found it.
