      @@daniel3231995 maybe by flat they are referring to how honest it sounds. There is no wide vibrato and there is no rubato in random places, only notes and the pulse which is accentuated with articulation and rubato which serves the music and the accents. The scale passages are just what they're supposed to be: scales, they're not romantic melodies meant to be played with all the features I mentioned (wide vibrato, oftentimes random rubato, etc.) which are absent in this performance. What you hear here is a plain honesty that I only experience in flamenco, which this music is very reminiscent of due to the use of the Andalusian cadence.

    I first heard Rachel Podger play in the recording of the Bach Double Concerto with Andrew Manze. He was the big name then but I was struck by the comparative warmth and flexibility of her sound. Not something you always associated with historically informed performance in those days - but I am quite sure a quality of the violin when well played throughout its history. She demonstrates this beautifully in the way she draws on such practices to shed new light on the repertoire she plays and, hopefully, to win new audiences.

    Is the Baroque violin tuned a whole tone lower than the modern violin?

    • @corgilove2070
      @corgilove2070 Před 7 lety +1

      usually @415. depends on orchestra, etc.

    • @toddsterben6647
      @toddsterben6647 Před 6 lety +7

      It depends. A compromise often made for Italian music is a=415, a semi tone low, also German and others but not French, at least sometimes. Late 17th & early 18th century French is lower, compromise at 392, based on surviving wind instruments. But wind instruments survive at all sorts of pitches between 390 or so and even 440. Lots of winds were around 408/410(early 1700s) and later 405/435 (late 1700s). But there was no standard as there more or less is now.
      French flute music sounds so nice really low.

    • @oliviu-dorianconstantinesc288
      @oliviu-dorianconstantinesc288 Před 6 lety +2

      Just about a half tone lower. So a baroque A would correspond to an A flat.

      @doctormock1 Před rokem

      Most of the other pieces in this set use some of scordatura, in one case requiring the violinist to switch the positions of the D and A strings in order to retune to Biber's designated pitches. This piece however uses the normal GDAE tuning for the violin.

    The majority rules! That is democracy! For the critical among you, however, it should be noted that Biber never played his violin like this. His instrument and his bow were completely different from Rachel's. The instrument was smaller, the tuning higher, the neck and the bow shorter, the G-string not wound ... etc.
