Recording preview

Evening, or morning perhaps, depending on your location. Have just finished a second revision and recording of an arrangement I've been working on, the passacaglia of H.I.F. von Biber's Rosenkranz Sonaten; originally for a solo violin, I've reworked the piece as a quintet for two violins, viola, violoncello and contrabass (also transposing, in the process, to Cm), working from Tufvesson's transcription of the original from the unique manuscript (Mus. MS 4123, c. 1670s) in the Bavarian State Library in Munich. I think, if I can find the time, I will subject the work to at least one more revision/recording, as there are a few places where the 'cello is more subdued than I would like it, but beyond that I think it's very near its final form at this stage.

Should anyone wish to hear it, a preview recording may be found here.

It's about six seconds shy of 8 minutes in length. Comments on the work, good or ill, welcome and appreciated.
