About

At San Petronio, the main church of Bologna, Francesco Manfredini was a violinist and member of the Accademia Filarmonia which provided Bologna's churches with music. In his early twenties, Manfredini tried to earn his first credentials as a composer during this period, having two collections of works printed which he designated Opuses 1 and 2. He later worked at the court of Monaco, during which time he also published his Opus 3. After this, during his period as Kapellmeister at the cathedral of his native city of Pistoia, Manfredini probably composed many more works. Due to a dispute with the cathedral chapter, however, these works were no longer allowed to be stored in the cathedral's collections after his retirement, and were thus lost. Today we are glad, therefore, that at least a few works by this apparently very gifted composer have been handed down to us.

The Capricornus Consort of Basle directed by Peter Barczi, awarded the German Music Critics' Prize for its last CD (CHR77381 Graupner Cantatas), now proudly presents the complete cycle of the twelve Sinfonie da chiesa opus 2 by Manfredini as a world premiere recording. It is a varied selection of colourful pieces recorded with the sensitivity and precision to which we have become accustomed with the Capricornus Consort.

March 2015

there is no doubting the enhanced expressive and textural range of these highly sensitive performances, whose expertise is matched by a spontaneous ease that captures the spirit of the music as though it was hot off the press. A stunning achievement.

28th November 2014

The two violinists are impressive in their exploration of the expressive traits of these pieces. Through their subtle treatment of dynamics they emphasize the rhythmic pulse. The fast movements are lively and engaging. In short, this disc is a substantial contribution to the discography: nice music, well played and recorded. The liner-notes tell us all we want to know about Manfredini and his op. 2.
