5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Biber CD!, January 21, 2012
This review is from: Soldiers, Gypsies, Farmers and a Night Watchman: Instrumental Pieces by Biber (Audio CD)
I'm surprised more copies of this recording are not available on Amazon! This is an excellent interpretation of eight of Biber's works written between 1673 and 1680 (Sonata Jucunda may have been written by Schmelzer). The performance by Combattimento Consort Amsterdam is top notch, and they manage to bring Biber's humor front and center on this SA disc. Their version of Battalia is a bit abbreviated, but this is still a highly recommended CD. If you are a Biber fan, and I have recordings of over 110 of his works, I promise this will not disappoint.
