Complete List of Luigi Boccherini String Quartets Recordings

Luigi Boccherini was Italian composer who composed a large number of chamber music. His string quartets numbered more than 100 works, unfortunately some are lost. Here are the complete list of Luigi Boccherini's string quartets and its recordings. There are 106 string quartets in the Gerard Catalog. The most recorded quartets seems to be the Six quartets in Opus 32. At the moment only less than 50% of all Boccherini string quartets got recorded, well according to my Amazon research only. Hopefully there will be more ensemble playing his pieces.

Some CD have confusing Opus number or miss printed :



Quartetto Italiano that printed as Opus 6. It should be referred to Opus 8 No.1 in D and Opus 8 No.3 in E Flat. BUY IT HERE

Recording by Saxonian String Soloist, listed as opus 27, opus 40 and opus 33. The correct is Opus 24 No.2 in G minor G194 and Opus 53 No.2 in D G237.

Recording by Quartetto Della Scala in 1972's, printed as Opus 26 and 27, which non existed in G Catalog. BUY IT HERE
