Massive Baroque Set of Composer Who Inspired Bach

Biber was a violin virtuoso and composer who wrote giant choral masses and much scorching instrumental material. This set includes
both, and both are absolutely astonishing. The vigour, precision and power of the playing is just jaw-dropping; the masses, on the other hand, are intricate and sprawling. Biber’s sonic architecture clearly sets out starting points for Bach, but Biber’s sound is completely his own. This is the early Baroque at its best. And at seven discs, it is something to savour over a great deal of time.

Reinhard Goebel own these sonatas.

Having heard all cds except number 2 because of an incredible bad luck of receiving cd number 7 twice I can safely say that concerning the violin sonatas no one can possibly match the outstanding performance of Goebel with his suitable sound in this particular case , his dryness so to say ,his way of phrasing and a kind of perfection that can not be described for this pieces makes them unreachable, I have listen many versions and none of them come even close , so I can tell that buying this version is the best investment you can make concerning Biber music.
