Based on a public radio broadcast (St. Paul Sunday?) featuring
Romanesca playing Biber, and some of the posts to this thread, I used a
store credit to buy a low priced Romanesca CD of Biber Violin Sonatas Nos.
I, III, V, & VI (none of which, so far as I can tell, are from the Mystery
or Rosary series), as well as a Passagalia for solo violin and a Sonata
Representativa (w/ simulated animal calls), all of which I've found very
enjoyable listening. Like the broadcast I heard, the CD ends w/ Sonata
III, which, in turn, ends in an unusual manner, in mid-phrase, as if it
were a practical joke.
It's Harmonia Mundi HMX 2907225 and I think its low price (US$7.98) is
because it's a promotional CD.
