Avie Records La Serenissima Adrian Chandler: violin Gareth Deats: cello Thomas Dunford: theorbo Robert Howarth: harpsichord VIVALDI: Sonata á Solo facto per Monsieur Pisendel in A, RV 29 • Sonata a Solo facto per Monsieur Pisendel in F, RV19 • PISENDEL: Sonata for violin and continuo in C • Sonata for violin in A • MONTANARI: Sonata for violin and continuo in D • ALBINONI: Sonata for violin and continuo in B flat Adrian Chandler returns to where it all began. Per Monsieur Pisendel (AVR 18) was the debut album released by the Vivaldi enthusiast on AVIE in 2003, launching a recording career that has earned international plaudits, awards, 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.
