Johann Georg Pisendel (1687–1755), einer der größten Violinisten des 18. Jahrhunderts und renommierter Konzertmeister des Dresdner Hoforchesters unter dem aufgeklärten Monarchen Friedrich August II. (1696–1763), gilt als Schlüsselfigur zwischen der italienischen und der deutschen Violinschule. Unter den Hunderten von Kompositionen für verschiedene Besetzungen, die Pisendel hinterlassen hat, stechen die Sonaten für Violine und Basso continuo sowohl in quantitativer als auch in qualitativer Hinsicht hervor. Diese Sammlung ist bemerkenswert aufgrund ihrer außergewöhnlichen stilistischen Vielfalt, die seine kosmopolitische und eklektische musikalische Ausbildung widerspiegelt. Während meiner Studienjahre an der Schola Cantorum Basiliensis entwickelte ich eine tiefe Faszination für Pisendel – seine Person, sein Werk und sein Leben – und analysierte, transkribierte und katalogisierte nach und nach einen bedeutenden Teil seines wertvollen Archivs. Aus dieser Sammlung haben Julio Caballero und ich einige der Werke ausgewählt, die wir am interessantesten und repräsentativsten fanden, und so das Programm dieser CD zusammengestellt. – Claudio Rado
