A constantly repeated bass motif is perfect for improvisation - which in turn inspired many Baroque composers to write numerous masterpieces. Gunar Letzbor has put together a splendid program from this fund of pieces, including the well-known Ciaconnas by Bertali and Schmelzer and two ostinato-dominated sonatas by the violin virtuoso Biber, but also works by lesser-known composers such as Georg Arnold, Heinrich Döbel and Johann Josef Vilsmayr. In the question of the continuo instrumentation, the Ensemble Ars Antiqua Austria breaks new ground: according to new research, the magnificent Salzburg court, where Biber was Kapellmeister, had a special continuo accompaniment: for this magnificent instrumentation with lute, chitarra attiorba and colachone, the ensemble had the instruments specially reconstructed and now let's the \"Salzburg lute continuo\" be heard again on this recording.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Sonatae Violino solo~Sonata VI: [...] \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Sonatae Violino solo~Sonata VI: Passacaglia \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Capriccio~Variation 1-7 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Capriccio~Variation 8-13 (aus Canzoni, Ariae e Sonatae Op.
