Info zu Just Biber

Im Anschluss an ihre von der Kritik gefeierte Aufnahme der Rosenkranzsonaten von Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber leitet die Geigerin und musikalische Leiterin Rachel Podger Brecon Baroque auf Just Biber, einem Album mit Sonaten aus Bibers Sammlung Sonatæ Violino Solo von 1681 und seiner theatralischen Sonata Representivo. Diese Werke sind äußerst virtuos mit ausgedehnten Mehrfachgriffen und schillernden Passagen des Stylus Fantasticus. Zu Bibers Zeiten war Harmonie etwas Kosmisches, das in einer gottgegebenen Resonanz zwischen Mensch, Instrument und Himmelskörpern vibrierte. Die Erzbischof Maximilian Gandolf gewidmeten Sonaten sollten nicht nur erfreuen, sondern möglicherweise auch Balsam und Heilung spenden; Biber beschrieb die Sonaten als eine Art Gebet für ein langes Leben und eine gute Gesundheit des Erzbischofs.

„Es ist frisch, athletisch, spannend und hier und da etwas schroff, um meine Aufmerksamkeit zwischen den sanften Akkorden zu fesseln. Podger ist voll auf Zack, eine herausfordernde Leaderin mit eigenem Kopf.“ (Slipped Disc, 4-Sterne-Rezension)

„Podgers wundervolles Album, das ihr dynamisches Geigenspiel mit dem ebenso farbenfrohen Spiel der Mitglieder von Brecon Baroque verbindet.“ (The Times, 5-Sterne-Rezension)

„Podger meistert die extremen Herausforderungen dieser Sonaten bravourös.“ (The Guardian, 4-Sterne-Rezension)
