classical music: Andrew Manze     classical music:     Andrew Manze      Corelli: Violin Sonatas, Op. 5, Nos. 1-12 - Complete Archangelo Corelli, Andrew Manze, ... Harmonia Mundi, 2003 Captivating I usually think of Corelli as nice "background music," pleasant, but without the emotional depth of Vivaldi, Bach or Handel. However, with this disc I find myself stopping and losing myself in the beautiful tones of Manze's baroque violin. The playing is superb and ...             Pandolfi: Complete Violin Sonatas Giovanni Mealli, Richard Egarr, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1999 Beautiful violin sonatas of the "middle" baroque Andrew Manze is an extraordinarily gifted violinst. Let me say right away that Manze's playing is not "squeaky" or "scratchy," as authentic performances of baroque violin music are often (sometimes with justification) said to be. Manze is clearly a virtuoso but he ...             Bach: Solo & Double Violin Concertos /Manze * Podger * AAM * Manze 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 ...             Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set) Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ... Brilliant Classics, 2006 so far, definitely so good I have listened to, thus far, 123 discs and have enjoyed all but three of the performances, especially the Mass in B Minor, Magnificat, Christmas Oratorio, Goldberg Variations, The Art of Fugue, and to my surprise in spite of unfavourable reviews elsewhere, the Sacred ...             Concert for the Prince of Poland Vivaldi, 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 ...             Handel - Concerti grossi, op. 6 / AAM · Manze 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 ...             Tartini: The Devil's Sonata / Andrew Manze Giuseppe Tartini, Andrew Manze Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1998 I think this is actually the devil playing! Manze's interpretation of the Devil's Trill Sonata is absolutely breathtaking. Other than the pure amazing virtuosity, the most brilliant part of Manze's rendition is that despite the extreme amount of liberty he takes with the piece, it still remains true to the style ...             Handel: Complete Violin Sonatas 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 ...             Vivaldi: Concertos for the Emperor Antonio Vivaldi, English Concert, ... 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 ...             Biber: The Rosary Sonatas Alison McGillivray, Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, ... 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 ...             Schubert: Sonatas for violin & piano Franz Schubert, Richard Egarr, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2007             Mozart: Violin Sonatas, 1781 - K. 376, K. 377, K. 380 - Andrew Manze (violin), Richard Egan (fortepiano) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Richard Egarr, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005 as good as anything else Manze has done! I have about 7 Manze discs. My favorite is the Biber. But this is pretty close. I found this disc very nice and very accessible. Why would anyone need to beware? I have no idea why the people reviewing here don't love this cd. I guess one guy liked it and one ...             Pergolesi - Stabat Mater · Salve Regina / Kirkby · Bowman · AAM · Hogwood Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Christopher Hogwood, ... Universal Int'l, 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 ...             Albinoni - 12 Concertos, op. 9 / Manze, de Bruine, AAM, Hogwood Tomaso Albinoni, Christopher Hogwood, ... Decca, 1999 Fabulous, but not period instrument premiere. The quality of performance from Hogwood and company are flawless and near perfecton as usual. I can fully recomend this recording to fans of Albinoni or Baroque music in general. Andrew Manze is amazing and I hope these guys continue to record all the major works of ...             Barbara Bonney - Fairest Isle Barbara Bonney, Christopher Hogwood, ... Decca, 2001 Fairest voice for Fairest Isle I adore Purcell's songs, and possess many fine recordings of them. I perform them myself and enjoy the experience each and every time. When I listen to a new recording of Purcell songs, then, my expectations are both high and informed. Barbara Bonney is simply a ...          products you might be interested in   search for classical music albinoni, concertos, fortepiano, pandolfi, pergolesi, schubert      toavi.com    web randomly chosen book: Night Fall
