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 ...             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.

I was ...             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 ...             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.

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1999 Great performances/Redundant Repertoire Andrew Manze is a wonderful violinist, and his costars-- Richard Egarr and Jaap ter Linden-- are also excellent performers. I have no complaint whatsoever as to the performance of the eight violin sonatas on this disk.

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005 Mozart beautifully played in resplendent multichannel sound Mozart had, during a visit to Vienna in May 1781, just resigned or (most likely) been fired from his much hated service as court organist and concertmaster to the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg, Hieronymus Colloredo.
