This imagist and evocative anthology is first rate. Manze is a master of this genre - only Holloway and Goebel of the good period can touch him. The generous selection and glorious bowing make this an energetic and enthralling wander through battlefields, courts and hospitals (no joke).When the Turks were at the gates, the Viennese made music about it. Think of it as Iraqi hiphop - but good.

Astonishing lyrical sonatas
23 Jun 2000
Format:Audio CD
I've listened to this album dozens of times in the past -- it is one of the most lyrical, beautiful albums I've heard in several years. The music has passages of great virtuosity which Manze, one of the great violinists of our time, performs with utter confidence, but what makes the album enjoyable over and over again are the hauntingly sweet slow passages. These are songs deeply felt and deeply sung.

Double Bonus
26 Jan 2002
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Recently I discovered Biber's Violin Sonatas performed by Romanesca. I was so impressed with that CD, I decided to find out what else Andrew and his friends had been up to. That is when I discovered this CD. This has turned out to be a double bonus. Not only is the performance by Romanesca outstanding, but also I found Schmelzer to be quite intriguing. Everything the previous reviewers have said is absolutely true. Schmelzer is beautiful, lyrical, haunting, and yes he does fall into the Godiva category. To quantify this, this is the perfect morning CD if you are looking to be eased into your day as opposed to breaking into it with Vivaldi. It's also the perfect CD to unwind with after a stressful day. It's so emotional you can't help but be pulled out of your universe forgetting all your daytime woes.

Manze at his best
10 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
As a violin fanatic, I was very anxious to get my hands on this CD! However, I was not expecting it to be as wonderful as it is! Manze's intonation and technique are flawless, as always, and his up-beat tempos in the fast sections make what the entire concert exciting. The slow movements are played with care and not "astringent" like some other period-instrument performances I have heard. Manze is not the only star on this recording: the entire Romanesca Ensemble is superb in balance and technique. Since I love Biber's Rosenkranz Sontatas, I was happy to see the arrangment on this disc. Schmelzer seems to pick up right where Biber left off, giving the sonata a fun and exhilerating Turkish concept. Here's to yet another disc that beautifully introduces us to a virtually unknown Baroque composer! Highly recommended.
