CKD 501

Heinrich Bibers astonishingly powerful and deeply emotional Mystery Sonatas represent a triumph of Baroque invention. Boston Baroques Christina Day Martinson delivers a technical tour de force, as she navigates the virtuosic challenges presented by the fiendishly demanding changing scordatura. • Boston Classical Review described her live performance as a flourish of technical complexity and musical wizardry, whilst the Boston Globe wrote, Day Martinsondidn't just survive, she triumphed. • The adventurous use of six baroque violins in fifteen different tunings creates otherworldly soundscapes that result in a deeply moving and glorious listening experience. • This highly disorientating practice reaches its pinnacle in Sonata XI (The Resurrection) where the middle two strings are crossed over • each other both in the peg box and behind the bridge, so that one can literally see a cross on the violin. The fifteen sonatas have been traditionally grouped into three sets of five: five joyful mysteries, five sorrowful mysteries, and five glorious mysteries. • Boston Baroques founder Martin Pearlman plays organ and harpsichord, with Michael Leopold on theorbo and guitar and Michael Unterman on cello.
