Recently through Pandora.com I discovered these two CDs from the "Baroque" station I created. Wow. Andrew Manze plays the classical baroque style violin for both selections and his performance and interpretation of the music is amazing and stunning. I never heard of Mealli before and from the nonexistent bio on Pandora.com, it's obvious he's a recent find. Biber has a longer, well-documented history, yet his music has a fresh, avant guard sound for that time. Both CDs are breathtaking . . .
