From famous pieces like Biber’s “Battaglia,” which depicts battle using counterpoint reminiscent of modern music, from famous works like Schmeltzer’s *Fencing Manual*, which vividly depicts a fencing match, to pieces rarely heard today—Baroque violin virtuoso Gunnar Letzball presents a wealth of them. Sharp musical ideas, intense sonic friction, and a constant flood of stimulating imagination. The album is also packed with virtuosic violin techniques.\n“I would like to make it clear that I am a passionate pacifist and have absolutely no intention of glorifying war. As a Christian, I believe in turning the other cheek and resolving conflicts through positive expressions of friendship and dialogue. After all, we are all brothers! Personally, I believe the “Lament”—which is often performed following battle scenes—is the most powerful and moving part of *Battaglia*. When the barber-surgeon tends to the wounds, all aggression vanishes; both victors and vanquished suffer, and the focus shifts to healing. The moans and wails, expressed in a chromatic scale, serve as a reminder of the futility of war. This is a symphony of hope, suggesting that the day will come when humanity turns its back on armed conflict.” (From Mr. Letzball’s commentary)\nPANCLASSICS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Balletto in h-Moll C.60~Die Werber\u003cbr\u003e2.Die Musikalische Fechtschul’~Aria 1\u003cbr\u003e3.Die Musikalische Fechtschul’~Aria 2\u003cbr\u003e4.Die Musikalische Fechtschul’~Sarabande\u003cbr\u003e5.Die Musikalische Fechtschul’~Courente\u003cbr\u003e6.Die Musikalische Fechtschul’~Fechtschule\u003cbr\u003e7.Die Musikalische Fechtschul’~Bader Aria\u003cbr\u003e8.La Gran Battaglia (Symphonia No. 34 from \"Sinfonie Boscarecie\", Op. 8)\u003cbr\u003e9.Sonata Decima Sexta A Quatro (from Sonate concertate, Libro secondo)\u003cbr\u003e10.Canzona prima a 2 in D~[excerpt]\u003cbr\u003e11.Synfonia a 3 ex C K331~Turcaria\u003cbr\u003e12.Synfonia a 3 ex C K331~Passa Gallia - Andante\u003cbr\u003e13.Synfonia a 3 ex C K331~Janitshara\u003cbr\u003e14.Synfonia a 3 ex C K331~Posta turcica\u003cbr\u003e15.Die Turkenschlacht bei Wien~Der Turcken Anmar(s)ch\u003cbr\u003e16.Die Turkenschlacht bei Wien~Der Turcken Belagerung der Statt Wien\u003cbr\u003e17.Die Turkenschlacht bei Wien~Der Turcken Sturmen\u003cbr\u003e18.Die Turkenschlacht bei Wien~Anmar(s)ch der Christen\u003cbr\u003e19.Die Turkenschlacht bei Wien~Treffen der Christen\u003cbr\u003e20.Die Turkenschlacht bei Wien~Durchgang der Turcken\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53696773620001,"sku":"7619990104655","price":669.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/7619990104655.jpg?v=1791538425","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mx\/products\/7619990104655","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
