'performances of sublime sensitivity and punchy panache' - Sep-2000 5 star BBC Music Mag. - Sep-2000 Gramophone Editor's Choice 'Delightfully spirited music-making in these masterly works inspired by Corelli.' - Penguin Guide 3 star 'the period-instrument performance by the players of the Academy of Ancient Music are led from the bow by Andrew Manze. He is a superb soloist, but so are his colleagues, and the transparency of sound and refinement of textures in no way preclude warmth'
