Bartolomeo Campagnoli (1751-
1827) was a violinist by training, who
worked in the courts and capitals of
Baroque-era Europe, with posts in
Rome, Dresden and then (from 1779
to 1818) in Leipzig, where he was
leader of the venerable Gewandhaus
orchestra. He learned his trade
with famous Italian musicians Tartini
(1692-1770) and Nardini (1722-1793).
Campagnoli claimed for himself
“the German learnedness with
Italian soul”, and his works abound
in lyrical melodies set into the firm
musical structures of the first
Viennese School.
This 3-CD presents String Quartets,
Flute Quartets and Duos for Flute
& Violin, highly attractive works in
prevailing light and lyrical mood.
