La Serenissima - Pisendel
What a wonderful evening’s music! The trio sported by La Serenissima last night was marvellous - such a pure sound, such incredible clarity. Themed around violin concertos composed for Pisendel (pronounced pizz-endul) by such luminaries as Vivaldi and Albinoni, the baroque repertoire lent itself so well to the violin/cello/harpsichord combination. I can think of no better adjective than ‘pure’ - this concert was a real treat.
