Exclusive Early Release from Rachel Podger for NativeDSD Members!

Following up her critically acclaimed recording of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber’s Rosary Sonatas (also available at NativeDSD), violinist and musical director Rachel Podger leads Brecon Baroque on Just Biber, an album of Sonatas from Biber’s 1681 collection Sonatæ Violino Solo and his theatrical Sonata Representivo.

This is a DSD Exclusive, Not Available on SACD album, It is  available in Stereo and 5 Channel Surround Sound DSD 256, DSD 128 and DSD 64 plus Stereo DSD 512 only at NativeDSD. 

These works are extremely virtuosic with extensive multiple stopping and dazzling passages of stylus fantasticus. In Biber’s time, harmony was something cosmic, vibrating in a God-given resonance between human, instrumental and celestial bodies.

Dedicated to Archbishop Maximilian Gandolf, the sonatas were not only designed to delight, but also potentially to balm and heal; Biber described the sonatas as a kind of prayer for the Archbishop’s longevity and good health.
