Album Description

Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (1644-1704)

Virtuoso in the Making

Ricordo

Kati Debretzeni – violin
Penelope Spencer – violin
Alison McGillivray – viola da gamba & violone
Adam Woolf – trombone
Matthew Wadsworth – theorbo & baroque lute
Robert Howarth – harpsichord & organ

In the second half of the 17th century, a handful of virtuosos established a clear Austro-German supremacy of the violin over its birthplace, Italy. Amongst them Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber stands out both as composer and as violinist. History has done him justice: he is today more popular then ever. His life is well documented, and his major instrumental collections are widely published and recorded. His formative years, however, are merely speculated upon, and they are the focal point of this recording.
