@Chriscuitz Hi! It is not primary a lamento-music. It is a Passacaglia subtitled by Biber "Der Schutzengel als Begleiter des Menschen", so it is not said that it has to be played slowly. In the middle of the piece, there are e few bars marked as "adagio" in the autograph score which implies, that before these bars it should be faster, like Allegro - and at the End of these Bars it is written Allegro again.
@Chriscuitz Biber himself was a real virtuoso and a lot of baroque solo music can be played either faster or slower without being wrong (as Glenn Gould showed). Listen to Reinhard Goebel, one of the great experts: he plays it even faster!
The incredible emotion brought out by this artist is extraordinary, what an incredible piece! Thank you Maestro Biber for such a powerful piece, and BRAVO to Mr. Hirschfield!

Stunning. The restrained interpretation here actually heightens the piece's emotional impact - Hirschfeld has really discovered and brought out the essence of Biber's music. Thanks for uploading this.
wow! - a very unique interpretation: both vivid and deep. it changes between "human passion" and mystic beauty and obviously refers to the stylus fantasticus. great!
Why so fast? This isn't Zigeunerweisen... Where's the lament?
