Biber: Harmonia Artificioso

The Bernese ensemble Les Passions de l'Ame received excellent reviews for all their publications on Deutsche Harmonia Mundi and was awarded an OPUS KLASSIK in 2020 for the album "Variety". "The pulsating center of this recording is once again the ensemble leader and baroque violinist Meret Lüthi, who effortlessly combines virtuoso (secular) and spiritual (spiritual) aspects of this music with one another with a robust tone and sparkling temperament. (...) An absolutely convincing and varied recording! " Toccata wrote about the album "Variety" and RBB Kultur said: "Les Passions de l'Ame play with great perfection and passion, especially the two violinists Meret Lüthi and Sabine Stoffer deserve top marks." The complete recording of all seven parts of the famous "Harmonia Artificioso-Ariosa" collection by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber (1644-1704) is now being released by DHM - with violinist Meret Lüthi and Sabine Stoffer as second solo violin and Anja-Regine Graewel as solo viola. Undoubtedly a reference recording of the seven demanding trio sonatas that show Biber's virtuosity as a violinist and his ingenuity as a composer.
