That Boccherini is not the composer of "pretty and harmless tunes" is shown by his Stabat Mater, a dramatic and eloquent musical setting of the lament of Mary at the Cross. The Stabat Mater is sung by Barbara Vignudelli, international performer and prize winner, widely acclaimed for her interpretations of both sacred music and opera.
