Biber: The Mystery Sonatas
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-31 Summary: A Monument of Early Violin Music ... This version of Biber's stupendous ROSARY or MYSTERY SONATAS won the 1991 Gramophone Award for best baroque recording. It is marked first of all by the stunning virtuosity and graceful lyricism of violinist John Holloway. Simply to master the notes of these sonatas is an immense task in itself: playing scordatura is sort of like ventriloquism, since you are miming a certain set of notes while other notes are sounding. To have worked up these pieces into an intensely expressive, dramatic experience, as Holloway has ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-03-29 Summary: Another World ... Biber heartily embraced gypsy tavern violin virtuosity long before Dvorak or Brahms. This is magnificent music full of elegant and earthy contrasts. The sonatas that employ unconventional tuning open up new worlds of harmonic splendour, yet the crowning piece, the Passagalia, which does employ conventional tuning but isn't part of the Mystery Sonatas, is thankfully included as the final work of a two disc journey that soars the heights of heaven and plunges the depths of human experience. I have the original release ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-13 Summary: Marvelous performance and great sound. ... Holloway's performance is out of this world, he really feels the music, clearly paints scenes of each of the passages Biber tried to portrait. As for the sound, it could not be better recorded IMHO. The harpsichord and the violin blend seamlessly, with the obvious deference to Holloway's instrument. A must buy! ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-09-22 Summary: An Inordinately Beautiful Recording of the Biber Mystery Sonatas ... Much can be written about the difficulty of this music form the 17th Century by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber - and other reviewers here have given superb descriptions of those complexities - but the end result of works such as this is in the response it produces in the listener. Biber wrote these Mystery Sonatas to represent the three sets of mysteries from the Bible: the Birth, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection of Christ. The recording is by Tragicomedia with Davitt Moroney and John Holloway in this impeccably performed ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2004-02-22 Summary: Hauntingly beautiful Baroque fare ... I own three versions of Biber's Mystery (Rosary) Sonatas, and a fourth recording (by Manze) of other Biber sonatas along with the famous passacaglia that concludes the set. All of the versions (the other two being by Rheinhard Goebel on Archiv and Suzanne Lautenbacher on VOX) are beautiful, because the music is. Perhaps the passacaglia is the most beautiful 8 to 12 minutes (depending on performer) in the entire musical library. I rate the Holloway version as the best in terms of the passacaglia. The pacing seems perfect ...more

Russian Choral Music-Russian Easter
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2001-01-25 Summary: Breathtaking Solemnity ... I don't know a word of Russian language. I love serious choral music which is appropriate for worship. I am a choral singer. This recording and all the others in this rich series, hover over the listener and reverberate in the soul. The absence of the distractions of instruments is so subtle, one is well into the listening process before the realization that it is the human voice, and the human voice in agreement, which dares to approach the Throne of God. If these choral scholars are not devout Christians, they certainly ...more

Biber: Mystery Sonatas (Rosenkranz-Sonaten or Rosary Sonatas) - Goebel
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2003-12-22 Summary: One of the Best Interpretations ... Reinhard Goebel and members of the Musica Antiqua Köln perform the Mystery Sonatas by F.I. Biber who was born in 1644 and served most of his life as Kappelmeister of Salzburg until his death in 1700. Biber was a creative genius who composed various mostly liturgical works during his lifetime. Although not as well known as J.S. Bach and his reknown violin sonatas and partitas, Biber's violin sonatas are brilliant works in their own right that have much more free expression than Bach's highly technical sonatas. Biber ...more

Driving along the freeways on Maundy Thursday and hearing and excerpt form the work ('The Agony in the Garden') made this listener hurry home and put on the full recording! Biber wrote these Mystery Sonatas to represent the three sets of mysteries ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2005-11-26 Summary: Beautiful compositions, performance and sound ... Biber's so-called "Mystery Sonatas" are among the most alluring, meditative, virtuostic and amazingly beautiful compositions ever written for the violin - which this fine recording captures most vividly. Three aspects of this recording stand out as superb and make this CD a highly recommended recording for Biber's "Mystery Sonatas." The first is the extremely vivid and crystaline sound quality from DG, who created an ideally-resonant sound ambiance that brings out the mystery and depth of this music. Stunning. The ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-13 Summary: Excellence in Sound and Interpretation ... This is among the most prized recordings I own. I picked it up years ago before I knew much about Biber. He's become a small obsession of mine since. I've been a fan of MAK since the late 1980s, and attended one of their last concerts a couple years ago (sans Goebel). If there was an apex to this ensemble's career, this recording is it. Biber's sonatas are full of wild twists and turns, written in his own particular "phantastic" style, each one a collection of changing sections by tempo, their rhythm, and mood. Add ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2004-06-06 Summary: Many mysteries shrouded in great music... ... Fans of the violin, or baroque music in general, will enjoy this interesting collection of pieces subsumed under the title "Mystery Sonatas". All fifteen traditional "Mysteries of the Rosary"(compiled well before Pope John Paul II added 5 additional "mysteries" in 2002) are represented by a piece for violin, violincello, lute, organ, or harpsichord (with a concluding solo violin Passacaglia). Each segment of the work is gorgeously composed and performed. Overall the feeling is of contemplation, as if the piece were ...more
