Boston Baroque Presents Biber's Mystery Sonatas

Biber's Mystery (or Rosary) Sonatas rank, along with Bach's unaccompanied violin music, among the most challenging works in the Baroque violin repertoire, and his experimentation with the instrument is unique, even to this day. Each sonata depicts one of the mysteries of the rosary, and each sonata has the violin strings tuned to different notes to change the resonance of the instrument.
