H.I.F. Biber: Harmonia Artificioso - ariosa

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Biber was one of the most talented and fascinating composers of the 17th century. He spent his life working between Czechoslovakia and Austria, attaining a considerable amount of fame and even earning a patent of nobility (he was permitted later in life to refer to himself as "von" Biber). His instrumental music is the most fanciful and entertaining of the period, partly due to his use of scordatura, or mistuning. This technique requires a different violin-string tuning for each of the seven partitas in this collection, which gives each a particular instrumental color. A partita, by the way, is the same thing as a suite--a selection of dances collected together to make a contrasting set. Everything by Biber is worth hearing, and this fine disc is no exception. -- David Hurwitz
