Description:

A variety of bass passages and a fascinating performance by Retzbowl! This is an album on the theme of "ostinato" by Rezborg, an evangelist of the fascinating form of ancient violin music that matches the performance style of the Baroque era. The "ostinato" (Latin: obstinatus) is a constantly repeated phrase, also known as an insistent bass. This bass movement was ideal for improvisational musical development and was the perfect form for the Baroque period with its bass passages, which led to many masterpieces. Schmelzer and Bertali's Ciaccona is a prime example of this genre. It is a fine piece with a chord progression that could be used in modern pop music, and the simple framework of the piece brings joyful music to the ear. The composition is a masterpiece of artistry unique to Retsvall, and includes two ostinato-based sonatas by violin virtuoso Biber and works by lesser-known composers such as Arnold, Debel, and Wilsmaier. The dazzling world of ostinato is yours to enjoy.On this album, Retzboll uses a lute, chitarra attiolberta, and corassione, a tolling bass formation with sumptuous acoustics, based on research showing that there was a special tolling bass at the Salzburg court, where Biber served as music director.
