Andrew Manze, leading The English Concert in their second recording together, demonstrates the electrifying, spontaneous style of playing which has made him one of the hottest properties on the classical music scene.

A royal treat indeed! "With violinist Andrew Manze...holding the reins...you can feel electricity crackle again." (The Times of London).
