Heinrich Ignaz Biber
Sonata representativa & Sonates pour violon & basse continue

"Romanesca ... is simply stunning; virtuosity so effortless as to be unnoticeable and a sense of capricious fantasy so vital to the convincing projection of such highly personal music, veering from mind-blowing complexity to artless simplicity, often in the space of a few seconds." - BBC Music Magazine
Andrew Manze plays violins by Joseph Gagliano, Naples, 1783 and Hieronymus Amati, Cremona, 1663; bows by Gerhard Landwehr, Heemstede, 1986.
