This explains the fact that there is a rich music collection of this period in Saxony, a truly gourmet feast for a violinist like Annette Unger. Together with her Dresden professor colleagues Michael Pfaender and Ludger Rémy on her fourth GENUIN CD, she makes these baroque treasures resonate, swing, and sing: an entire flower bouquet of Vivaldi violin sonatas – as if Pisendel himself remembered the country where lemons flourish…
