A magisterial account of Biber's Sonatas for Violin and Continuo,
some of the most remarkable and forward-looking music created
in the late 17th century, played by John Holloway, with Aloysia
Assenbaum and Lars Ulrik Mortensen. "The continuo team
provide a lavish backdrop to Holloway's fantastic
realisations of Biber's music, with all its twisting
and turning passagework, the increasingly intricate
variations, the complex double-stopping in scordatura;
it's all there, and it's all brilliant in the true
sense of the word. No one interested in the
repertoire should miss this!" - Early Music Review
