Presentation concert of the new album "From the library of Pisendel" by Claudio Rado and Julio Caballero

Johann Georg Pisendel (1687–1755), one of the greatest violinists of the 18th century and renowned Konzertmeister of the Dresden court orchestra during the reign of the enlightened monarch Frederick Augustus II (1696-1763), is considered a pivotal figure between the Italian and German violin schools. Among the hundreds of compositions for various ensembles that Pisendel left behind, the sonatas for violin and basso continuo stand out in both quantity and quality.
