"Just Biber". A new album with Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque

In Biber's time, harmony was something cosmic, vibrating in a God-given resonance between human, instrumental, and celestial bodies. After all, the string instrument in early modern Europe was configured as a human body – with a neck, belly, and ribs to match. The Sonatas were therefore not only designed to delight, but also potentially to balm and heal; Biber described the sonatas as a kind of prayer for his patron's longevity and good health.
