In her latest recording, Rachel Podger explores the challenging works of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, featuring five of his sonatas from 1681, along with the debated Sonata Representivo. Known for its technical difficulty and scordatura, this collection tests the limits of violin performance. Podger brilliantly interprets these pieces, maintaining a balance between expressive freedom and fidelity to the music's essence. While this new collection may not reach the same vividness as her prior Rosary Sonatas recording, it remains an engaging and worthwhile listen for those who appreciate Biber's compositions.
Rachel Podger's latest recording features Biber's challenging sonatas, showcasing her expressive freedom and technical brilliance, making it a worthy follow-up to her previous works.
The pieces exhibit extreme technical difficulty through scordatura, while Podger's interpretation captures the spirit of the music, marked by an animal imitation in Sonata Representivo.
