highly recommended

And then I discovered Tartini in this CD. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The intricacy and the vision. The Devil's Sonata - aka, The Devil's Trill came to Tartini in a dream which he explains, he tried to capture upon waking. He feels he did a poor job but, there is nothing poor about this work. Nothing lacking either from his variations on Corelli ("L'arte del arco") or Sonata in A minor.

If you enjoy this musical period and it's masters, you cannot be without this particular recording. It is well worth the 2 weeks waiting it may take to get it (it's an import). Andrew Manze has clearly embraced this period's music ... and soul ... and that clearly shines through this recording. I can't recommend this selection highly enough.

If you love Vivaldi ... you will love this as well.

Wonderfully different

Very very interesting. If you are looking for a beautiful, fluid, modern recording of the Devil's Sonata/Devil's Trill, try, perhaps, Nathan Milstein's Italian Sonatas. But if you are familiar with the usual sound of Tartini and are looking for something that engages both musically and intellectually, this is it. Certainly as virtuousic as any baroque recording one can readily think of, but conjures up the baroque era as a passionate and creative time, not just a technically miraculous one.


Simply Amazing !

This is for sure the best CD I have found this year ! Triyng to describe it is of no help....You need to listen to it ! ASTONISHING.....buy it right now !

Spectacular

An intensely emotional piece played magnificently by Manze. At points in this recording you'll swear he's playing two violins.
