Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1996 A Catalog of Riches Telemann's 12 Fantasias for solo violin (1735) are intriguingly elusive. Their brief movements offer a whirlwind tour of European manners and styles. The player's resources are laid bare -- no overarching formal design (this isn't Bach), and few openings for virtuosic display. Andrew Manze is a star of the period-instrument set. Lightning reflexes (and wits) and improvisatory flair are his ...             Bach: Solo & Double Violin Concertos /Manze * Podger * AAM * Manze31 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1999 right key I need to correct some earlier reviews which state that, due to this recorded performance being played at a different pitch to the norm (a semitone lower or thereabouts), it is somehow played at the wrong tuning. From my enthusiastic layman's knowledge of period instrument performance, I know that, in the 17th, 18th centuries, etc, pitch had not been standardised at what current pitching is ...             Pergolesi - Stabat Mater · Salve Regina / Kirkby · Bowman · AAM · Hogwood7 reviews Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Christopher Hogwood, ... Decca Import, 1989 The Best Recording I Have Heard I have listened to at least 5 other recordings of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater and found the version by L'Oiseau-Lyre the best by far. I am a singer myself, although an amateur with experience in serious choirs such as the Academic Choir Tone Tomsic from Slovenia (won the European Grand Prix 2002 at the 14th choral competition in Arezzo, Italy) and have a preference for a clear voice with a very ...             Vivaldi: Concert for the Prince of Poland6 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Andrew Manze, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2002 What elegance and grace is contained here The Academy of Ancient Music has done a wonderful job with this CD of the 4 Concertos written by Vivaldi in honor of the vist of Prince Frederick Christian, Prince of Poland, to Venice. The works were spread out over several evenings so that they could be enjoyed by the illustrious guests. The Academy of Ancient Music does a superb job with this collection of music that required use of ...             Geminiani: Concerti Grossi (after Corelli Op 5) /AAM * Manze10 reviews Francesco Geminiani, Arcangelo Corelli, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2000 Corelli and his interpreters As the reader may already know, the opus 5 violin sonatas of Corelli were the inspiration for this orchestral interpretation of them by Geminiani. As related by Manze in his album notes, Corelli chose the significant year 1700 to publish opus 5, and according to Manze, this represents a landmark in Italian baroque, for every composer who came after has had to reckon with these sonatas, and ...             Corelli: Violin Sonatas, Op. 5, Nos. 1-12 - Complete9 reviews Arcangelo Corelli, Andrew Manze, ... Harmonia Mundi, 2003 What The Baroque Alone Can Do There's something in the greatest of baroque music that it alone can do - a kind of grace in suspended passion, angular sour biting lines that somehow are sweet without being sickly sweet, a mathematical precision that is not arid. It's all here in Arcangelo Corelli's great and generous gift to us all. I think this music is best listened to on a night when one is physically ill or one is ...             Stenhammar: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 -Romantic Piano Concerto vol. 491 review Stenhammer, Andrew Manze, ... Hyperion, 2009 Stenhammar Concertos Together Stenhammar's two piano concertos are delightful, especially the beautiful and melodic Number 1. This is the first recording I am aware of to put both concertos on a single disc. Turkish pianist Seta Tanyel, whose reputation rests chiefly on an outstanding series of recordings of Polish romantic piano works and concertos. These new recordings were made in November, 2008. Ms. Tanyel has the ...             Handel: Complete Violin Sonatas5 reviews George Frederick Handel, Richard Egarr Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005 Simply astounding It is not without a sense of awe that I write these words. I believe Mr. Handel himself, had he been alive to hear this recording, would have been thoroughly delighted and not perhaps devoid of a tear or two. The grace and elegance with which these endearing sonatas are played is simply astounding. Both Manze and Egarr ought to be given knighthoods for this CD. It just has no peers. I find ...             Albinoni - 12 Concertos, op. 9 / Manze, de Bruine, AAM, Hogwood5 reviews Tomaso Albinoni, Christopher Hogwood, ... Decca, 1999 TO START THE DAY For a long time now, I've enjoyed starting my day with Albinoni. His music (even over Vivaldi's music) puts me in a very positive frame of mind to meet the challenges of the day. This recording on "original instruments" certainly starts my day most positively. The playing on this CD is breath taking. Hogwood and his Academy of Ancient Music are at their usual best delivering sharp and crisp ...             Handel - Concerti grossi, op. 6 / AAM · Manze8 reviews George Frideric Handel, Andrew Manze, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1998 A recording of the century...really! Manze has outdone himself, as have the Academy of Ancient Music. There is life, there is magic, there is some beautiful playing, there is everything you could possibly want in a recording of this wonderful score. Even if you forego period instruments, you should really try these guys out! Forget Orpheus's attempt, and please ignore the bizarre recommendation for I Musici de Montreal on Chandos ...             Bach: Solo & Double Violin Concertos31 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ... © 1997 Harmonia Mundi, 1997 right key I need to correct some earlier reviews which state that, due to this recorded performance being played at a different pitch to the norm (a semitone lower or thereabouts), it is somehow played at the wrong tuning. From my enthusiastic layman's knowledge of period instrument performance, I know that, in the 17th, 18th centuries, etc, pitch had not been standardised at what current pitching is ...             Mozart: Violin Concertos, K. 216, 218, & 2197 reviews Mozart, Manze, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2006 Manze & Mozart fit nicely While I have always thought of Andrew Manze as a wonderful exponent of period instrument performance, I approached this recording of Mozart's K.216, K.218 & K.219 violin concertos with some trepidation. Being a fan of Trevor Pinnock's for over two decades, I could not imagine anyone else leading the English Concert. I need not have given the matter a second thought-Manze, Mozart and the English ...             Handel - Concerti Grossi, op. 6 (Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 11) / AAM · Manze2 reviews George Frideric Handel, Andrew Manze, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2001 A dream Sound,style,interpretation,all i want to hear at athe highest level for the one that knows and appreciates!             Tartini: The Devil's Sonata / Andrew Manze15 reviews Giuseppe Tartini Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1998 Astounding recording, worthy of consideration! I picked this disc up several years ago, and I frequently return to it whenever I crave a fine example of baroque violin. The naysayers will say what they will about Manze's departure from a literal interpretation of the music, while his advocates point out that this is very much in the style of baroque performers as historians now understand it. In either case, Manze proves that this music ...             Biber: Violin Sonatas9 reviews Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, Romanesca Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2002 The Extraordinary World of Biber As Romanesca and other masters of the early music movement have made us aware in recent times, violin music did not begin with Corelli in the early 1700's. It began with a group of Italian, Austrian, and German composers in the 17th century who exploited the violin as a virtuosic and polyphonic, rather than simply lyrical, instrument. The last and greatest of these composers was Heinrich Biber. ...             Biber: The Rosary Sonatas9 reviews Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, Andrew Manze, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2004 Simply Amazing - Disregard the Negative Comments I doubted whether to buy this or Reinhard Goebel's version of the sonatas. Most reviewers praised this one highly, but one was giving it really bad press, which made me doubt. I haven't bought the other one, and therefore I can't really compare them (though i spent considerable time comparing the previews provided by amazon, i feel the restricted length of the segments and the mediocre quality ...             Biber: Missa Christi resurgentis [Hybrid SACD]4 reviews Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005 Andrew Manze does it again! Andrew Manze does it again! This wonderful recording features the first recorded performance of the previously lost Missa Christi Resurgentis. Apparently the piece has lain dormant for the last three hundred years and was only rediscovered recently in a Czech monestary. The piece takes a departure from the typical Easter mass in that Biber inserts beautiful solo interludes between the ...             Concertos for the Emperor5 reviews Vivaldi, Manze, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2004 Passionate scholarship, scholarly passion Andrew Manze and the English Concert have given us one CD already: their performance of Mozart's "Night Music" (one of the best Mozart programs I've ever seen) redefined how Mozart should sound. After such an amazing first release, I wanted to be the first kid on my block to own this new CD and I believe that I am. I hope that someone will give me a cookie for my effort. This reviewer ...             Andrew Manze Portrait3 reviews Manze, Tartini, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2000 Great Marketing Idea I had heard of Andrew Manze but never heard him play. This CD is a very inexpensive introduction to an incredible Baroque violinist. He opens your ears to a completely different level of performance in this type of music. Highly recommended as an introduction, but be warned that you will soon be purchasing many more of his CDs.             Bach: St. John Passion1 review Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Parrott, ... Angel Records, 2002 Highly recommended Very nice recording indeed. Stay away from it if you like a big choir, Parrott performs a so-called one voice per part St. John...well actually in this recording 2 voices per part. This would sound dreadful with the St. Mathew Passion, McCreesh's performance is evidence to that, but the St. John which is more compact and lean faires pretty well with it. Parrott doesn't sound that smaller ...              search for classical music albinoni, andrew, bruine, christi, complete, concert, concerti, concerto, concertos, corelli, emperor, fantasias, geminiani, handel, hogwood, mozart, passion, pergolesi, podger, portrait, prince, resurgentis, romantic, sonata, sonatas, stenhammar, tartini, telemann, violin, vivaldi classical music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
