MANCINI: Concertos for flute, strings and continuo [CD de audio] Alexandra Nigito and Mancini

Francesco Mancini (1672-1737) was an important figure in the world of music in his hometown of Naples during his lifetime. He wrote 29 operas, 200 cantatas, as well as numerous concertos and sonatas. He showed himself to be a typical representative of the Neapolitan style: Mancini always strove to create virtuoso and brilliant music full of humor and charm that caused immense joy in the listener. Brilliant Classics publishes for the second time an album with works by this little forgotten master of the Italian Baroque. After the flute sonatas (2010, Brilliant Classics 94058), the ensemble of original instruments from Rome Capella Tiberina, under the direction of Swiss conductor Alexandra Nigito and with Corina Marti as soloist, presents a double CD with a selection of concertos for Mancini flute. Recordings for this production were made in May 2011 in Rome; The bilingual (English and Italian) booklet contains introductory information about the composer and the works.
