Rediscovered: Violin Sonatas by Pandolfi Mealli and Works by Biber, Schmelzer, Kapsberger
Daniel Sepec has made a specialty of rarely heard Baroque violin repertoire—including Biber’s “Mystery” Sonatas, which he performed to great acclaim at the Pierre Boulez Saal last season. He now returns with another veritable discovery.
