Nicola Matteis (Composer)

Born: c. 1675, Naples, Italy?

Died: 1760

Nationality: Italian

Nicola Matteis (Matheis) was the earliest notable Italian Baroque violinist in London, whom Roger North judged in retrospect "to have been a second to Corelli," and a composer of significant popularity in his time, though he had been utterly forgotten until the later 20th century.

Recording of the Week, Isabelle Faust - Solo

The German violinist is at her intelligent, expressive best in a programme of works for unaccompanied violin by Matteis père et fils, Pisendel, Guillemain, Vilsmayr and Biber.
