5.0 out of 5 stars About this CD (Informational), October 9, 2007

This review is from: Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber: Sonaten über die Mysterien des Rosenkranzes (Sonatas on the Mysteries of the Rosary) - Gunar Letzbor (Audio CD)
HEINRICH IGNAZ FRANZ BIBER
Sonaten über die Mysterien des Rosenkranzes
Gunar Letzbor (baroque violin); Lorenz Duftschmid (viol); Wolfgang Zerer (organ); Wolfgang Glüxam (harpsichord); Axel Wolf (lute)

Arcana- 901(CD)

Biber's Mystery Sonatas offer a feast of violinistic challenges, from the different tunings required in each of the 16 works, to exposed, virtuosic writing that loses its spiritual import when played for mere effect. Gunnar Letzbor's lively, imaginative playing admirably fuses style and drama. He also utilizes two different period violins, each with its own distinctive timbre and colorations. Similarly, the continuo chores are divided between lute, organ, and harpsichord, providing ample textural and expressive variety. The warm recorded sound transports you from your listening room to an intimate stage, where you can comfortably nestle among these marvelous instrumentalists.
