Late 18th century Italian composer Luigi Boccherini produced a vast catalogue of compositions, several of which were chamber works featuring the flute. Australian flautist Sally Walker, whose first appearance on AVIE was in collaboration with harpist Emily Granger on the album Something Like This, has taken a deep dive into the provenance of Boccherini's works for her instrument to produce a 90-minute, 2-for-the-price-of-one volume of music that is infinitely elegant, virtuosic and beautifully refined. The relatively rare yet imaginative Six Quintets, Op. 19, for two violins, flute, viola and cello vary in their configuration, some intimate, others on a grander scale reminiscent of the composer's orchestral music. Also included are the first 'Divertimento Notturno' from the Sextet, Op. 38 for violin, viola, bassoon, flute, horn and double bass; and, as a 'bonus' the Quintet G.443 for flute, oboe, violin, viola and cello, a work attributed to Boccherini. Although its authorship is contested, as Sally says, 'it is such a beautiful work that we wanted to include it anyway.'\r

'Walker's boldness, already in evidence on two earlier albums, gives emotional depth to music that is often played to prettily.' \x96 BBC Music Magazine (4 stars)
