Noble and wonderful, the mandolin was glorified through all the centuries and cultures. The 18th century did not escape to this rule, Artemandoline associate the too unknown composers of the Grand Siècle to the well known.In summary this record is full of energy and enthusiasm. Guitar and lute enrich the continuo of many pieces. The mandolins acquire a strength and vivacity that would not lend them. The execution, not content to be remarkable, is simply sublime and splendid by the life that circulates in this cd.This cd is : a perfume from Italy : ostinato, improvisation and a real pleasure, complete of virtuosity and nuances, in short : the musicians enjoy themselves fully.A record essential in your music library, it inspires a joy of live!

REVIEW

[...] Artemandoline, one of the world’s best mandolin ensembles, plays a set of mostly Italian pieces. The inspired freshness and the sparkling virtuosity alone are fascinating. However, brilliance is not the only asset of these interpretations, which are also mightily expressive.
