Product Description

Immerse yourself in the rich and diverse musical landscape of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber's "Biber: Sacro-Profanum," a captivating collection of works that showcases the composer's virtuosity and innovation. Released on May 1, 1997, by Chandos, this album spans a generous 1 hour and 58 minutes, offering a comprehensive journey through Biber's sacred and secular compositions.

The album features a stunning array of pieces, including the complete set of Fidicinium sacro-profanum sonatas, which range from the introspective Sonata No. 1 in B Minor to the exuberant Sonata No. 12 in A Major. Each sonata reveals Biber's mastery of form and expression, blending sacred and secular themes with remarkable finesse.

In addition to the sonatas, the album includes the dramatic "Battalia à 10," a programmatic work that vividly depicts a battle scene, and the enchanting "Serenada à cinque in C Major, C. 75, 'Nightwatchman's Call,'" a multi-movement suite that evokes the atmosphere of a night watchman's rounds. The album also features the deeply moving "Nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum" and "Laetatus Sum," showcasing Biber's skill in sacred vocal composition.

The "Mystery (Rosary) Sonatas and Passacaglia" conclude the album with the powerful XVI. Passacaglia, a testament to Biber's ability to convey profound spiritual depth through music. Whether you are a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, "Biber: Sacro-Profanum" offers a rewarding and enriching listening experience, highlighting the timeless brilliance of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber's compositions.
