  • Many thanks for uploading this (boy Manze's rendition is so higher up compared to all the rest!). This is mysticism of the purest degree. Bach means mathematical beauty, Biber means mystical beauty.

  • @Ararara22

    ur very much welcome .... thanks for that clear analogy of Bach and Biber... i totally agree. ^-^

  • Andrew Manze is my favorite baroque violinist. thanks for posting

  • Same here... he introduced me to many obscure baroque composers... :>

  • absolutely you are right, many of composers I didn't know about them. However, I wish that you listened to Corelli Violin Sonatas, Op.5

  • I've only heard clips... some bloke bought the set before me... :-c

    I'm waiting for new stocks to arrive... i have no idea when ... :-/

see all

  • Oeuvre magnifique, intense, envoûtante par un violoniste «baroque» d'une rare qualité

  • Salve Maria!

    Bella música, dulce a los oídos y al alma. Este compositor germano fue grandioso y su sello musical con lo sacral que llega hasta los tronos celestiales. Que la Virgen Ssma. anime a muchos a difundir estos conciertos para la cultura de la vida, del amor, los que Nuestro Señor Jesucristo nos regala cada día esos dones para difundir y/o tocar estas maravillosas notas sacras. H.I.F von Biber fue un gran católico austríaco!!!

    Christus Vincit!

  • This is so beautiful. It's like it's speaking to my very soul.

  • @PeriodinstrumentfaN I hve Goebel's version, and his guardian angel is a very vigorous one, not to mention almost awe-inspiring. This guardian angel is a very tender, loving being. But I love them both.

  • This piece is in no way inferior to Bach's chaconne in D minor. Three guesses who was the more original composer of the two...

  • Wonderful performance.

  • Heavenly.....

  • Ararara, I don't mean to be captious (so many on Youtube forums are) but I do enjoy when someone writes something interesting and informative, so I'll give it a shot:

    First, check out Reinhardt Goebel's...WOW, it was the last recording he did before his hand gave out

    Second, they are called the Mystery Sonatas because in ecclesiastical tradition the rotating focuses of the rosary are also called "mysteries" - not cause it sounds mysterious
