Biber Passacaglia in G Minor "Guardian Angel": Gabrielle Wunsch, baroque violin

The Passacaglia in G Minor for unaccompanied violin by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, performed on the baroque violin by Gabrielle Wunsch. HD video from our January, 2014, concerts.
Biber's passacaglia is one of the finest works for violin of the 17th century: Biber spins a dazzling array of variations--in many different affects--over a simple, four-note bass line. The passacaglia is the crown jewel of the collection of sonatas known as the Rosary Sonatas; these works come down to us from the single surviving copy in Munich.
