Artemandoline - The Mandolin in London (2024) [Official Digital Download]

The mandolin gained great popularity in 18th century Britain. Due to the intensive musical exchange in Europe and in particular the influence of Italian musicians and composers who traveled to Great Britain, performed and taught there, the mandolin became a popular instrument that was played in opera houses and concert halls, vaudeville halls, the royal family and private salons.

The ensemble Artemandoline, under the direction of Juan Carlos Muñoz & Mari Fe Pavón, has specialized in researching the history and repertoire of the baroque mandolin and has selected some of the best works for mandolin from this period for their new album. The album contains rare musical treasures, including instrumental works for mandolin solo and ensemble as well as several pieces for baroque mandolin and soprano, sung by the Italian singer Marina Bartoli. Artemandoline has recorded dreamy but also lively pieces, sonatas by composers of the time such as Giovanni Francesco Weber (1724-1751), Francesco Bartolomeo Conti (1681-1732) and Carlo Arrigoni (1697-1744) as well as lively jigs by Girolamo Stabilini (1762-1815) and enchanting canzonettas by Girolamo Nonnini (ca. 1730-ca. 1790). These composers, who were famous for their virtuosity on the mandolin, had a decisive influence on the musical heritage of the instrument and can now be heard in world premiere recordings.
