MANFREDINI: 12 concerti op.3

Remy, Ludger ;
Les Amis de Philippe

CPO 999638

Music lovers commonly associate the name Francesco Manfredini (1684-1762) with a single work: the Christmas concerto entitled "Pastorale per il Santissimo Natale," which concludes the concerto cycle op. 3 published in 1718. The fact that this "famous" Pastorale is preceded by eleven other concertos in the collection has not been noted by the music world until now. It's about time that changed! There are 12 wonderfully varied, musicianly concerti, four each as tutti concertos, as concertos with one or two solo violins. Ludger Rémy has now made a brilliant recording of all 12 concerti for cpo with his Les Amis de Philippe, which shows one thing above all: Manfredini, that is more than just Christmas concert!
