Carl Friedrich Abel: The Drexel Manuscript

Pandolfo

"Muscular arpeggiata preludes cede to pizzicato dances of ineffable suavity, and a fugue of dazzling complexity. The sound is intoxicating, Pandolfo’s expressivity and technique beyond praise." (BBC Music Magazine)

Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"Muscular arpeggiata preludes cede to pizzicato dances of ineffable suavity, and a fugue of dazzling complexity. The sound is intoxicating, Pandolfo’s expressivity and technique beyond praise."

BBC Music Magazine

"In Pandolfo's hands, Abel's music is highly communicative - packed with ideas, oft-repeated and always varied. His strong sense of overall form… allows him to indulge in dynamic moments of silence, heightening the impression of monologue, and even dialogue. Technically wondrous, few could perform these delightful pieces with the skill, eloquence and sheer panache Pandolfo brings to them."
