About this product
Carlo Mannelli (Rome, 1640-1697) spent the major part of his life in Rome where he also worked during the opera performances and religious events. As a violinist nicknamed Carlo del Violino and Carluccio di Pamfili, he played the first violin in the most famous Roman musical ensembles of the period. Arcangelo Corelli, who often played under Mannelli, described him as one of his most influential teachers. For several years, Mannelli was leader of the famous Congregetione di S. Cecilia. The Trio Sonatas Op. 2 consists of 14 Sonatas. They are in 4, 5 or 6 movements. They display a freshness of melodic invention and sometimes daring harmonic surprises, a great tonal richness and unexpected, highly expressive chromatic phrases. The Ensemble Giardino Di Delizie is a Roman female Baroque group, founded in 2014 by the violinist Ewa Anna Augustynowicz, researching and performing forgotten treasures from the Italian and Polish Baroque. They played in such ensembles as Europa Galante, Les Elements, Quatuor Mosaïques and others. Their previous recordings of instrumental works by Lonati, Stradella, Colista and Leonarda met with enthusiast critical acclaim in the international press: 'The performance sounds completely natural, full of spontaneity and bursting energy. It's clear the group really likes this music and does not merely try and lecture it. ' (Lonati, 95590 theclassicreview. Com). 'Giardino di Delizie... take an energetic and imaginative approach to this fine music... playing with sensitivity and considerable musicality. ' (Colista, 96033, earlymusicreview. Com). 'A garden of delights, sensitively and beautifully performed, perfect for any lover of the Baroque. ' (Gems of the Polish Baroque, 95955, MusicWeb International) Critical praise for Giardino di Delizie: 'Ewa Anna Augustynowicz and her plaintive Baroque violin are the stars here. Nevertheless, she is in like-minded and similarly capable company. ' Fanfare (Stradella, 96079) 'Wonderfully engaging, especially when played with such imaginative musicality as it is here.
