Missa Christi Resurgentis
The New York Collegium Andrew Parrott, Music Director and Conductor
This world premier recording is available as a Hybrid Super Audio CD, playable as a standard CD or as an SACD.
Although Biber is thought of as a
composer of mystical violin sonatas, he was also a prolific composer of liturgical music.
One of his most spectacular work is his large scale Missa Christi Resurgentis
