The album is available in a variety of DSD formats and bit rates at NativeDSD Music including Stereo, 5.1 Channel Surround Sound and Binaural DSD.\r\n\r\nMembers of The Northern Consort tell us \"\u003cem\u003eIt was clear that the cello would play a more dominant role than we're used to in The Northern Consort. Luigi Boccherini occupies a special place in cellists' hearts. He must have been a phenomenal player, and, happily, he was also a composer. His exceptional knowledge of the technical possibilities of the cello helped him create a completely new sound-palette. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThis is particularly evident in his chamber music. With its splendid vocalic lines, often revealing an undertone of melancholy, combined with impressive virtuosity, and with a wink or a smile appearing now and then from under the surface. In this way he constantly explores new sound-areas. Crazy sections, or unplayable runs, often in the region of 'eternal snow'– extremely high up on the string. Rendering these passages playable is still an enormous puzzle for every cellist.  It often feels a bit like a Sudoku: with enough perseverance, everything suddenly falls into place.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eOur choice of Boccherini also takes us back to a seminal moment for The Northern Consort. In 2002, Hanneke, Lidewij and Barbara came together for the first time to enjoy his Italian\/ Spanish sound-world. In an Amsterdam lounge-room, and under the expert guidance of Boccherini connoisseur Wim ten Have, we played through parts of his impressive string-quintet oevre. For this album we've chosen two of these works - both of exceptional value in ten Have's opinion, and almost never performed.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eIt's notable that no composer, either before Boccherini or since, wrote so many quintets. The settings are very varied. Not only calling for two celli, but also for two violas, and for a wide variety of solo instruments with string quartet \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e– flute, oboe, guitar, piano. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eAccording to Gerard, compiler of the Boccherini catalogue, they comprise 188 works! What is it that so fascinated him about this five-part setting? Although we can't ask him, one practical reason, in any case, is the fact that a string quartet was in permanent service of his Spanish employer.  Boccherini himself also wanted to play. Which explains the choice of a second cello. It's also clear that the broader scope for orchestration within a quintet, compared with a quartet or trio, inspired him and suited his vision of sound, form and structure.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Northern Consort\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nBarbara Kernig - Cello\r\nLidewij Scheifes - Cello\r\nHanneke Wierenga - Violin\r\nFemke Huizinga - Violin\r\nEsther van der Eijk - Viola","brand":"Aliud Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739501965636,"sku":"ACDOB1162-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739501998404,"sku":"ACDOB1162-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739502031172,"sku":"ACDOB1162-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739502063940,"sku":"ACDOB1162-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739502096708,"sku":"ACDOB1162-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739502129476,"sku":"ACDOB1162-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739502162244,"sku":"ACDOB1162-24","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739502195012,"sku":"ACDOB1162-25","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739502227780,"sku":"ACDOB1162-26","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739502260548,"sku":"ACDOB1162-36","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739502293316,"sku":"ACDOB1162-39","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739502326084,"sku":"ACDOB1162-43","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56739502358852,"sku":"ACDOB1162-44","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739502391620,"sku":"ACDOB1162-49","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739502424388,"sku":"ACDOB1162-50","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57338738835780,"sku":"ACDOB1162-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57338738868548,"sku":"ACDOB1162S1443","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57338738901316,"sku":"ACDOB1162S1543","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57338738934084,"sku":"ACDOB1162S1639","price":34.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57338738966852,"sku":"ACDOB1162S1424","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57338738999620,"sku":"ACDOB1162S1525","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57338739032388,"sku":"ACDOB1162S1626","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/ACDOB1162.jpg?v=1778484213","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/acdob1162-fiesta-boccherini-5-quintetti-5-quintets","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
