CDs recorded by John Hadden -- Romanesca - Vivaldi: Manchester Sonatas

Winner of Premio Internazionale del Disco Vivaldi Antica Italiana

Gramophone Editor's Choice
"A warm, intimate acoustic is captured by this recording from Harmonia Mundi. Warmth and intensity are characteristics of the performances, too. The violinist Andrew Manze has an appealing rapport with this music and is expressive in his shaping of phrases. Where precision of musical detail and recorded sound are matters for debate, Manze wins. But let me conclude by reiterating the fact that this is music of great beauty and vitality which will delight most if not all lovers of the late baroque; and it is sympathetically interpreted."

CD Review
"The trio Romanesca cooks these Vivaldi recipes into a mixture sweet and dark...passionately and unmistakably Vivaldi throughout...Sometimes Vivaldi leads us unsuspectingly into these quiet coves, and then suddenly the beauty of the old instruments – so ardently bowed and plucked and played by this 'Romanesca' – is overwhelming."
