Passionate shades of Albinoni & Vivaldi
Paul Harben | Sydney, NSW Australia | 11/09/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Manfredini is best known for his Christmas Concerto or subtitle of Pastorale per il Santissimo Natale, which forms the last string concerto on this disc. All 12 concerti Op.3 are performed here, with propulsive yet fresh and polished playing by Remy's small Baroque string band. Manfredini studied violin under Torelli. His op.3 set was published in 1718. The hints of Albinoni and in concertos IX & XII the use of only 2 violins and basso continuo present a road somewhere between concerto and trio sonata at times. These are delightfully colourful works alternate between solo 2 violins and the ripieno or full body of strings. Uplifting and never boring. These are charming. Do try them."
