    I didn't expect a 1670s piece to use so many extended techniques
  • @ivyssauro123
    Everybody talking about second movement but everyone forgets the fourthh, such a great movement not just for a unusual duo, violin and bass, but prepared bass even, which gives it a sort of war drum sonority. This whole piece is great.
  • @bearstuff
    The awkward moment when you're listening to baroque and suddenly it goes post-tonal after the first movement, but nonetheless the second movement was fire, you should upload Carlo Gesualdo Tenebrae Responsories for Holy Saturday with the choral ensemble Tenebrae performing them, those have some compositional techniques way too out there for the renaissance era.
  • @sameash3153
    1:50 "cabbage and beats have driven me away, had my mother cooked meats perhaps I'd longer stay" in the third violin part. Bach also quotes this folk tune in Goldberg Variation #30.
  • @TheAntipl
    Wait, did I just hear polytonality in a piece from the 17th century? This is awesome
  • @parthoroy9141
    I was expecting a Baroque version of "Love Yourself," but then I realized I had the wrong Biber/Bieber. This one is a lot better
  • Legend has it that Biber had built a time machine to time travel to the 20th century at some point in his life to write this piece, and then went back to the 17th century to premiere it.

    Alright since everyone’s doing the “everyone’s talking about X, what about Y?” thing, I guess I’ll join in and point out the GORGEOUS and harmonically inventive final movement. And the first violinist blew the ornamentation out of the park. Simply perfect flourishes that feel like they were meant to be there and never take away from the beauty of the line, but add to it. Bravo!!! 👏🏻

    Fantastic, unique masterwork and easy to play. A must for all string players
  • @pierresentenac
    Très belle page de la musique descriptive, cette 'batalla' nous révèle un spectre sonore inouï, avec ces changements de rythmes syncopés, alternant pizzicatos et autre tournures mélodiques, allant parfois jusqu'à la dissonance... qui relatent brillamment, les phases d'une bataille, dans une lumière dynamique, des ténèbres dans un calme inquiet... Jordi Savall, nous restitue avec chaleur et simplicité, ce chef d'oeuvre de Biber !

    Bahaha, I was wondering why you put this up until the second movement came around! I was very pleasantly surprised!
  • @ishtar2848

  • @btudor_06
    Holy crap this was before Bach was even born !!
  • @Splishsplash87
    Like coming across some strange Precambrian creature where everything was possible. The Aria was beautiful.
  • Die liederliche Gesellschaft von allerlei Humor, indeed!!! What a fabulous 375th Birthday party you must be having with all those musical angels!!!
