Very well, Fandango!
November 4 at 7 p.m
Can Ventosa
Luigi Boccherini, influenced by popular music during his stay in Spain, composed his quintets for guitar and strings, a remarkable innovation for the time. The virtuoso cellist was willing to sacrifice classical norms in favor of authentic interpretation, something uncommon during the Enlightenment. This stance made him stand out as a pioneer in his quest to represent the truth in music.
