Free Music Review: A violin wandering and exploring..
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the most played of my Biber recordings - it just sounds so effortless and relaxed.
If you didn't know the music you might think that a virtuoso fiddler had prearranged a few chord changes with his organist and harpsichordist and had then set out whimsically weaving some tunes and variations straight out of his head, but in fact it is pretty well scored.
I'm not sure if that sounds like a recommendation or not, but the disc is very easy to enjoy and not like most baroque violin sonatas (Biber is after all... Biber. And Holloway has a touch that is perfect to the task.)
Biber: Unam Ceylum /Holloway * Assenbaum * Mortensen Poster
Biber was a violin virtuoso and kapellmeister, whose music continues to fascinate and, often, amaze. His set of "Biblical Sonatas" has long been a favorite of Baroque specialists. Here, Baroque violinist John Holloway rescues other Biber sonatas from undeserved obscurity. The disc includes two unpublished sonatas and four from Biber's 1681 collection that cemented his position among his contemporaries. All of the works are full of dazzling technical effects and unexpected turns. The F Major Sonata, for example, balances attractive melodies with an abundance of surprises, both musical and technical, and concludes with a grand chaconne capped by a whirlwind finish. Holloway is equal to the significant demands Biber imposes on his soloist. He's accompanied by both harpsichord and organ, whose weighty presence thickens the textures. An exciting foray into Baroque extravagance. --Dan DavisClassical Music CDs
