From the library of Pisendel

Claudio Rado, Julio Caballero Perez

Format: Digital

Johann Georg Pisendel (1687-1755), one of the greatest violinists of the 18th century and renowned concertmaster of the court orchestra of Dresden under the enlightened prince Friedrich August II (1696-1763), is considered a key figure between the Italian and German violin school. Of the hundreds of compositions for various ensembles that Pisendel left behind, the sonatas for violin and basso continuo stand out both quantitatively and qualitatively. This collection is remarkable for its extraordinary stylistic diversity, which reflects his cosmopolitan and eclectic musical training. During his studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, Claudio Rado developed a deep fascination with Pisendel - his person, his work and his life - and gradually analyzed, transcribed and catalogued a considerable part of his valuable archive. From this collection, the performers selected some works that they found most interesting and representative, thus compiling the program for this CD.
