Pisendel - Violin Concertos from Dresden - Johannes Pramsohler

"When on 27 July 1733 Johann Sebastian Bach sent a Kyrie and Gloria (of what was later to be the B minor Mass) along with an accompanying dedicatory letter to Prince-Elector August II in Dresden, he entertained hopes, unfortunately in vain, of an appointment at the Saxon court. (...) The first major instrumental solo in the Mass, the Laudamus te with its violin part that spirals up to dizzying heights, was undoubtely written with the concertmaster Johann Georg Pisendel in mind. Pisendel (...) took over the position of concertmaster from Jean-Baptiste Volumier in 1728, and was highly esteemed by his collegues and superiors. (...) conscientiousness, discipline, accuracy, and boundless assiduity enable him to work tirelessly on the quality of the orchestra. Moreover, he contributed to making the Dresden music archives into one of the most extensive in Europe. As a composer, however, his oeuvre was rather modest. The Violin Concerto in G major recorded here for the first time is splendid proof of Pisendel's violinistic skills and an excellent example of the typical Dresden sound. (...)"
