Review of Andrew Manze, British Violinist Interviews


Andrew Manze is the English rock star Baroque violinist who's packing concert halls all over the world with his 1783 Joseph Gagliano violin. He's starting a US tour in late October/early November 2004 which is a news hook for this interview. Curiously it doesn't contain any music though the first track ends with a preview of a Vivaldi piece. A worthwhile introduction to the man who's been called "the wild child of the violin."
