Bartolomeo Campagnoli (1751‐1827) learned his trade with famous Italian musicians Tartini and Nardini. As a virtuoso on the violin he travelled Europe, where he held several important posts in Freising (Bavaria), Dresden and Stockholm, before settling as Kapellmeister of the famous Gewandhausorchester in Leipzig.
Campagnoli claimed for himself "the German learnedness with Italian soul", and his flute quartets, for the attractive combination of flute, violin, viola and cello, abound in lyrical melodies set into the firm musical structures of the first Viennese School.
The Ensemble Il Demetrio plays on original instruments or copies of such, and have embraced the principles of the Historically Informed Performance Practice.
The booklet contains scholarly written liner notes in both English and Italian.
