Info:
Barefoot Chamber Concerts ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) presents really good music in the right acoustic and without the formality of most classical music events.
David Wilson, the Bay Area's primo Biber Wizard, brings us highlights of H. I. F. Biber's extraordinary "Rosary Sonatas" (aka "Mystery Sonatas" the title page is missing, so no-one knows what Biber meant to call them, but that hasn't stopped a lot of musicologists spending a lot of time learnedly speculating about it). He has assembled an all-star continuo cast (Barbara Blaker Krumdieck, cello and Katherine Heater, harpsichord) who both bring their own virtuosic abilities to the party.
Biber was way ahead of Joni Mitchell in inventing radical new tunings, and although he didn't invent as many as Ms. Mitchell, he did also invent radically new violin techniques, which apparently only he could play (that was then David has caught up with him, clearly). Prepare to be amazed.
