I've picked up the two disc set of Biber's Violin Sonatas (Romanesca
Ensemble, Harmonia Mundi) and am wonderfully impressed.  Lively, passionate
stuff - just the thing to get me through the doldrums of December and the
unending tides of store-piped x-mas music.  I know little of the artist -
a number of classical discography books I've looked at skip over his name
altogether.  I understand from the liner notes that these particular works
have been neglected, yet are well known to music historians.  Glad I played
my hunch.  One of my best purchases of the year.
