  • Description

    With 'Per Monsier Pisendel 2', Adrian Chandler and La Serenissima hark back to their debut album, performing violin sonatas by Vivaldi, Albinoni, Pisendel and Montanari with stunning virtuosity.

    Adrian Chandler returns to where it all began. Per Monsieur Pisendel was the debut album by the Vivaldi enthusiast released on Avie in 2003, launching a recording career that has earned international plaudits, awards, chart-topping albums and recognition as one of the world's leading authorities on the music of Vivaldi and his Italian baroque contemporaries. Per Monsieur Pisendel 2 brings together works by the dazzling German violinist's teachers Antonio Montanari and the Red Priest, the last "Pisendel" sonata by Albinoni, and two sonatas by the Saxon himself, including the fiendish unaccompanied sonata which inspired Bach to compose his six similarly-scored works. Shining through Adrian's erudition is stellar music performed with laser beam precision.

    Personnel: La Serenissima, Adrian Chandler (violin), Gareth Deats (cello), Thomas Dunford, theorbo), Robert Howarth (harpsichord)

    Critical acclaim for Adrian Chandler and La Serenissima:
    "These are musicians who quite simply love their Vivaldi." - BBC Music Magazine, Recording of the Month (Vivaldi: A Tale of Two Seasons)

    "One of the most scintillating discs of the year...another cracking collection of concertos, and the variety is gripping." - TheClassicalReview.com, Best of 2011 (Vivaldi: The French Connection 2)

    "A juxtaposition of energy and refinement...a surfeit of musical entertainments." - Gramophone
