Thanks to intensive musical exchanges across Europe, particularly with Italian musicians and composers who travelled, performed and taught in Great Britain, the mandolin became a widely played instrument in opera houses, concert halls, variety theatres, royal residences and private salons. Artemandoline, an ensemble directed by Juan Carlos Mu\u00f1oz and Mari Fe Pav\u00f3n, specialises in researching the history and repertoire of the baroque mandolin. For their new album, they have selected some of the finest mandolin works from this period. The album contains rare musical treasures, including instrumental works for solo mandolin and ensemble, as well as several pieces for baroque mandolin and soprano sung by Italian singer Marina Bartoli. The ensemble has recorded dreamy pieces as well as lively ones, including sonatas by Giovanni Francesco Weber (1724\u20131751), Francesco Bartolomeo Conti (1681\u20131732), Carlo Arrigoni (1697\u20131744), lively jigs by Girolamo Stabilini (1762\u20131815), and enchanting canzonettas by Girolamo Nonnini (c. 1730\u2013c. 1790). These composers were renowned for their virtuosity on the mandolin and had a significant impact on the instrument&#8217;s musical heritage, which can now be experienced through these world premiere recordings.[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243;
