	The Music Show - 31/08/2002: Andrew Manze
		Andrew Manze, one the Baroque violinists of the moment and one who holds quite controversial views about the "historically informed practitioners" of music from this time.
		Andrew Manze: Oh no, he trained for the priesthood as a young man, but I think it quickly became apparent his violin playing and his composing was going to take up more of his time than being a priest.
		Andrew Manze: Well put it this way, the skeleton of the piece is what Tartini wrote, and I play I think all his notes as well, but I may be adding I’d say about 30% of what you’re hearing is added in the sense of little ornamental things and little asides and digressions.

	Keeping Baroque Fresh at the Academy: an interview with Andrew Manze
		Andrew Manze, the internationally known English violinist whom The New York Times has called "the Grappelli of the baroque," is doing a return engagement this summer at the Domaine Forget, on August 2 and 3.
		Manze is not only a highly accomplished chamber player but associate director of the prestigious Academy of Ancient Music based in London.
		Manze doesn't entirely reject contemporary repertoire: on the contrary, his wife is actually a specialist in this rarefied field, and the Academy of Ancient Music has interpreted John Tavener's Eternity's Sunrise (in 1998) and Total Eclipse (June 20, 2000).

	NPR: Performance Today -- Live in Studio 4A
		Manze and harpsichordist Richard Egarr believe that to perform in the spirit of the baroque, you have to improvise and even embellish on what the composer wrote, since that's what musicians were expected to do in the 17th and 18th centuries.
		Andrew Manze is "among the most exciting of early music's young blades" (The Independent), and has been referred to as "a violinist with extraordinary flair and improvisatory freedom, the Grapelli of the baroque violin" (BBC Music Magazine); in fact he may well be "the first modern superstar of the baroque violin" (San Francisco Examiner).
		Manze is AAM associate director, Egarr is the AAM harpsichordist.

	The Complete Baroque Musician, Part 2: Andrew Manze Discography by Wayne Donnelly
		Manze cites Uccelini as an influence on Biber, and the reader may recall from the preceding interview that it was the challenge of animating these Biber sonatas that pointed Manze irrevocably toward baroque music.
		Manze adopts an appropriately restrained style, and both Egarr and ter Linden capitalize on their opportunities to expand their continuo roles and animate Rebel's bittersweet melodies.
		Manze notes that the three voices in these "trio" works are the violin and the harpsichordist's right and left hands, with gamba or cello maintaining the basso continuo.

		Manze performing is not really saying much at all either I'm afraid because Manze's talent is more an academic one rather than of a professional nature and so that is the deficiency which for me sends this mediocre work back to the depths of obscurity where it had properly remained for good reason.
		Manze is principally an academic performer instead of a professional one and his performances sound like scale and technique lessons instead of the passionate interpretations they are supposed to be.
		Manze's performance and interpretation is a blend of classical virtuosity and almost rock-star like bravura in his fortspinnung portions, although very sensitive to the lyric portions of the piece.

		Andrew Manze has already proven himself to be one of the most imaginitive minds in the world of baroque performance.
		Manze has the refinement of the modern player and the wonderful gesture of a baroque specialist; a rare coupling of style achieved by only one other string player to my knowledge: the cellist Peter Wispelwy.

	Andrew Manze: Crazy for Baroque - Tom Pniewski
		Manze's impassioned recordings and performances have excited critics and audiences around the world in a way almost unthinkable a generation ago.
		Then "early music" was the dusty province of musicologists, audiences were small and specialized, and the general view was that if you couldn't play classical music well you switched to early music, where nobody could tell the difference.
		Today, Manze's phenomenal success is a measure of how the early music movement has matured.

	classical music - andante - handel's complete violin sonatas
		Gramophone award winners Manze and Egarr are skilled at making this repertoire come alive, and their pleasure in performing this mildly ostentatious music is clear from start to finish.
		Ultimately the music gains from such flexibility, and Manze and Egarr alternate between tenderness and hedonism with ease.
		Manze and Egarr prepared their own performing edition directly from the original sources, and Manze's lucid booklet notes clarify the complicated historical background of Handel's music and accurately summarize the scholarly arguments in simple language.

		If you're already an Andrew Manze fan, you probably have most if not all of the recordings represented on this compilation (22 tracks from 11 albums, ranging from composers as well-loved as Bach and Vivaldi to the more obscure Pandolfi and Rebel).
		With Manze, there's no need to qualify his talents (something along the lines of "well, he's quite good for one of those early music/period performance fiends").
		(The highly articulate Manze, who read Classics at Cambridge, is a stark contrast to many other musicians whose educations have been, shall we say, largely limited to the practice room.) Whether Manze is performing solo or with the Academy of Ancient Music, the sound is uniformly crisp and excitingly present.

		The critics seem to be engaged in an unusual battle over violinist Andrew Manze – a fight to the last superlative.
		Andrew Manze: Well, I think that's at least partly due to the instruments themselves; they're so perfect for the music.
		Of course, Corelli's creations represent a high point in violin writing, whatever the period, but Manze expands the written notes into a dazzling display of sheer technique and well-considered yet stunningly imaginative interpretation, all of which shows off his 18th century instrument to full effect.

	Music Preview: Andrew Manze finds room for free expression in early music
		Violinist Andrew Manze (Man-zee) has not only walked that fine line, but hoisted it up to a high-wire act of great entertainment and excitement.
		The 36-year-old British performer didn't wrest period performance from the clutches of the academics in the '70s, but he has taken the new approach to a new level.
		Whether with harpsichordist Richard Egarr, with the trio Romanesca or as orchestral director of the Academy of Ancient Music, Manze delivers fiery, expressive performances of early music usually given somber, boring treatment.

	BBC - Classical Review - Corelli: Violin Sonatas Op. 5, Andrew Manze
		After all, he left only a bass line and the unadorned violin part, with no harmonies, figurations or ornamentation - baroque performers were supposed to have a modern jazzers ability to fill in the gaps, so every performance would have an imaginative spontaneity that's missing from most modern recordings.
		Those old skills are hard to find, but Manze and Egarr have them in spades, sparring with one another, reacting lightening-fast to each other's ideas and imaginations, unleashing a wider range of tone colours than I've heard in these sonatas before.
		As Manze puts it, 'reheating' these ornaments goes against the spirit of improvisation, and diametrically opposes the practices of the time: incarcerating the living music behind the glass of a museum display case.
