Biber, possibly one of the greatest violin composers of the Baroque era. Harmonia Artificiosa displays the full range of the Baroque violin during his time. Master of scordatura technqiue (tuning the violin strings to different pitches in order to play more ambitious works), Biber produced music of astounding technical virtuosity and liveliness for the violin, as well as choral sacred works. Well worth the listen!

It has been too long since I last listened to works by the violin genius, Heinrich Biber. Here is his Battalia à 10 from 1763. Performed by the Voices of Music ensemble.
