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 ...
  
  











  



  
Corelli: Violin Sonatas, Op. 5, Nos. 1-12 - Complete
Arcangelo 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 ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
Handel: Concerti Grossi, Op. 3; Sonata a 5
George Frederick Handel, Richard Egarr, ...

Handel: Concerti Grossi, Op. 3; Sonata a 5
Richard Egarr's first recording with AAM, this first volume of an anticipated Handel cycle is swiftly -- and justifiably -- gathering accolades. Classics Today rated it 10/10, calling the disc a "terrific release," "superbly engineered and presented [...]. It doesn't ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: Goldberg Variations
Johann Sebastian Bach, Richard Egarr

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2006

A Variation on the Goldberg Variations
Johann Sebastian Bach's 'Goldberg Variations' have been an enduring classic and for good reason. The work is technically demanding, extraordinarily beautiful, and is some of the purest music to come form Bach's fertile mind. The work has long been a challenge to ...
  
  











  



  
Mozart: Violin Sonatas, 1781 - K. 376, K. 377, K. 380 - Andrew Manze (violin), Richard Egan (fortepiano)

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Purcell: Keyboard Suites & Grounds

Wild Applause
"An outstanding recital." Gramophone Magazine Recommends 5 STARS - BBC Music Magazine "His playing is much like this music itself: gracious, smart, flexible, and inspired." - Jay Nordlinger THE NEW YORK SUN "He serves up one bristling ...
  
  











  



  
Handel: Organ Concertos, Op. 4 [Hybrid SACD]
George Frederick Handel, Academy of Ancient Music, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2008

Exciting performance, stunning sonics
Organ performance is thrilling. Recording sonics are perfect - SACD and CD versions are stunning. After years of listening to original instrument performances, I still am not used to the whiny string sound found on these early music recordings. The performances here ...
  
  











  



  
Geminiani: Concerti Grossi (after Corelli Op 5) /AAM * Manze
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, ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: Das Wohltemperierte Clavier, Vol. 1
Johann Sebastian Bach, Richard Egarr

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2007

Wonderful
This is a lovely interpretation of the WTC, Book 1. Egarr takes his time and lets the music breathe; the fugues are clear and well-defined. His use of ornamentation is tasteful and period-appropriate. He really allows the music to speak. The harpsichord used for the ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: Violin Sonatas
Jaap ter Linden, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2000

Amazing interpretations -- Bach rocks!
This is the closest you can get in classical music to a feeling like jazz -- these three top-flight musicians create a free-flowing, improvisational feel to this timeless music. Manze's dramatic violin playing is of course the star of the show, but Egarr and ter ...

Johann Sebastian Bach: Gamba Sonatas
Johann Sebastian Bach, Daniel Yeadon, ...

Channel Classics Nl, 1999

Capturing the spirit
Wispelwey, Egarr, and Yeadon have achieved a rare musical balance. They truly form parts of a whole. The playing is very spirited, and polypnony is absolutely beautiful. Of special note is the first track, Prelude in C from the Well-Tempered Clavier. Piano students, ...
  
  











  



  
Portrait
Johann Sebastian Bach, Francesco Geminiani, ...

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 ...
