Good introduction to Rinaldo.

RollaArtis, i believe he was refering to Giovanni Bononcini, not Boccherini.

[@peterhilliard2993]

The portrait is labeled Boccherini.

Intermittent sound unfortunately, but some beautiful moments of birdsong and harpsichord did come through....

[@RollaArtis]

I claim the prize for spotting the deliberate mistake at 6.58. Boccherini wasn't around in the early 18th C.
