Steven Isserlis’s new album, Music of the Angels, is available now on Hyperion. The recording features the music of a composer he treasures, Luigi Boccherini. The repertoire consists of two lesser-known cello concertos, a rarely heard string quintet in D minor, cello sonatas in C minor and F major, and the famous Minuet from the quintet in E. His fellow performers include The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Maggie Cole, Jonian Ilias Kadesha, Irène Duval, Eivind Ringstad and Tim Posner. As Steven writes in his sleeve-notes: has there ever been a composer of more consistent elegance? No matter how impassioned the mood, how martial and dramatic, or how tender, Boccherini’s art is always attired in sumptuous clothing, radiating grace”.
