Sony Classical is delighted to bring you the world premiere recording of Baroque concertos by anonymous composers associated with the legendary Dresdner Hofkapelle. The concertos are part of the infamous “Schrank II” (Cabinet II) archive in the Dresdner Court Church destroyed in World War II. This collection includes instrumental works that have survived in manuscript form and that belonged for the most part to the Court Orchestra’s leader, Johann Georg Pisendel (1687–1755). Robin Peter Müller has singled out six of the finest violin concertos from Schrank II’s collection, some of which he has reconstructed for the purposes of the present recording with his period-instrument ensemble. One of the concertos – in D major – reveals striking similarities to Vivaldi’s violin concertos, featuring, as it does, solo passages lifted straight from Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto RV 208 (“Grosso Mogul”). The result is a remarkable recording notable for its dynamism, virtuosity and musical variety.
