For their first album "Sospiri d'amanti" with Spanish soprano Nuria Rial
the Early Music ensemble Artemandoline was highly praised: "Here the
mandolins sing that it is a pleasure" (Opernwelt). With their second
album they take their listeners on a musical journey to 18th century
Naples. Whether in the opera house, in the theaters or conservatories -
music was omnipresent in Naples. It played an important role in the
numerous salons and palaces where the clergy, music lovers and patrons
of the arts met. So it is not surprising that not only the famous opera
style of the Neapolitan School, but also a "Neapolitan Mandolin School"
with its own sound and specific techniques was developed. For the first
time, the ensemble Artemandoline has recorded five Neapolitan concertos
on original instruments as world premiere recording, showing unusual but
highly interesting aspects of Italian instrumental music. These Baroque concertos by composers such as Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816), Giuseppe
Giuliano (18th century), Domenico Caudioso (18th century) and Carlo
Cecere (1706-1761) fascinate with their harmonic twists, ornate details
and their own great melodic ingenuity. For their first album "Sospiri d'amanti" with Spanish soprano Nuria Rial
