Yes I agree. It's superb, just superb!

Wowzza. Cresendo, Lakeville, Ct. premiered a Biber Mass 2010, under Christine Gevert. Period instruments. Remarkable story of Bibers' isolation as a Catholic composer at that time in Germany He wrote the Mass as a thank you for recovering from a serious illness. Melodically marvelous. Go to above Crescendo for a disc, and enjoy. Peace, Joy, and enjoy the music he gave us.

You say Biber - I say Bieber
