Ars Longa: Old and New Music for solo theorbo

Following the chart-topping success of his Bach Sonatas and Partitas and equal acclaim for his recording of Walther's Scherzi da violino, Bojan Cicic now turns to Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber's collection of sonatas from 1681 - among the most ambitious and inventive violin works of the seventeenth century.

With these songs from seventeenth-century Europe (Monteverdi and Purcell) and modern Latin America (Rodriguez, Jara, and others), two golden ages of song are juxtaposed on De Pasión Mortal.

The Mystery Sonatas, Volume 1, Nos. 1-9, is a recording of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber's violin sonatas, performed by Monica Huggett and Ensemble Sonnerie, released in 2004.
