Rosary Sonatas

Album by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber & Susanne Lautenbacher & Rudolf Ewerhart & Johannes Koch

Rosary Sonatas is a collection of sonatas for solo violin and continuo by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, composed circa 1676. The works make extensive use of scordatura tuning and descriptive, programme-like movements tied to the mysteries of the rosary, combining demanding virtuosic techniques and varied affective characterisation that illustrate innovations in late 17th-century Central European Baroque violin writing.
