Info for Biber: The Rosary Sonatas

With violins by Jacobus Stainer and distinctive passionate sound, Meret Lüthi and Les Passions de l'Âme convey the timelss substance of Biber's 15 Mysteries.

"I also find this recording very impressive. [...] [Meret Lüthi] presents a more colourful basso continuo with many instrumental alternations that sound in very different ways, even sometimes really glitter." (rbb Kultur, Bernhard Schrammek)

"From the first note, one senses the great familiarity with this world of expression and that the musicians kneel down into these good two hours with as much self-confidence as they do listening to the music. In doing so, they leave no doubt that they are not only up to the music, but that they have mastered the performance." (Pizzicato, Uwe Krusch)
