Mancini · 12 Recorder Sonatas
Infectious performances of well-written and entertaining music.
Francesco Mancini is one of the representatives of the Neapolitan school of the first half of the 18th century, although one of the lesser-known, in comparison to the likes of Pergolesi or Porpora. He studied the organ at the Conservatorio di S Maria della Pietà dei Turchini, and then acted as organist. In 1704 he became organist of the royal chapel and in 1708 vice maestro di cappella under Alessandro Scarlatti, whom he succeeded in 1725. In 1720 he was also appointed director of the Conservatorio di S Maria di Loreto.
