Luigi Boccherini was a brilliant cellist. His playing was like singing, even his sonatas breathe an aria-like sensibility. The baroque cellist Dmitri Dichtiar, lecturer at the Karlsruhe University of Music, emphasises the theatricality of this music by imagining operas without singers or ballets without dancers. This makes you want to surrender completely to these cello pieces. You can also listen attentively to the explanations of the musicians in this concert, who stroll through the life stages of various composers in conversation.

What did the 18th century sound like in Bologna, Venice, Hamburg, Amsterdam, London and Vienna? A musical and stylistic journey from the earliest string storms for solo cello to the fine elegance of the classical repertoire.
