I presume the Brilliant Boccherini box contains all the String Quintets recorded by La Magnifica Comunità. Of those I've heard they've been excellent and there's plenty more Boccherini here (37 CDs!) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Boccherini-V...3836717&sr=1-1
I hope Boccherini is better appreciated than was once the case. His interests are more in colour and melody than the development we associate with the 'Classical Style' and that may have hampered his reception; he has a voice all his own (and the two 'cello string quintet set up is, of course, Schubert's rather than Michael Haydn and Mozart's two violas).

Very sorry to hear of Gamba's illness and I hope when he has recovered he will be back posting here. I've always been interested in his posts about early music and anything to do with the cello/gamba repertoire.
I don't know the Boccherini quartets, but have enjoyed listening to the string quintets I've heard. It would be good to hear more of his music on R3.

If you have YouTube access, Gamba, here is a sample of the Alea Ensemble's recording of the op. 2 quartets - most impressive they are, too.
