| Kaňka is successful too in conveying the huge variety Boccherini found within the limits of the style of his period, his patrons' preferences, and his own inclinations. In a Sony Vivarte CD that only overlaps one of the sonatas (G.15), Anner Bylsma plays with a light touch and energetic rhythms so period fans have a place to go, even if it's a chillier zone. Kaňka is joined by harpsichordist Jaroslav Tûma and second cellist Petr Hejný, both of whom provide fine support. The music goes down smoothly, with the occasional mournful note to break the placid surface. The G major (G.5) begins with a charming march, the first movement of the A major (G.4) is a tuneful pleasure, the Largo of G.13 is a mournfully elegant lament, the sprightly Minuetto of G.18 is like a remembrance of a ghostly dance, and so it goes, on and on, with precious delights tripping over each other, movement by movement. |
