Concerto Koln, Mayumi Hirasaki - PI - Pisendel

Concerto K�ln is one of the leading orchestras forhistorically informed musical performances andrecordings. Recent concerts of Wagner's �Rheingold� andan album released together with soprano Jeanine DeBique have been celebrated and praised by critics andlisteners alike. The conceptual originality of their workseems endless. In their newest album �Pi � Pisendel�,baroque violinist Mayumi Hirasaki, Concerto K�ln'sleading concertmaster for the past ten years ishighlighted. As an inspiration for the program served herhistorical role model, the violin virtuoso, composer andconcertmaster himself Johann Georg Pisendel. Accordingto Hirasaki �It should be a program that doesn't only focuson me as a violinist, but also unfolds the virtuosity of thewhole orchestra.� Together as a unit concertmaster andensemble present a diverse selection of Pisendel's piecesthat stand out through their rich orchestration, stylisticvariety and instrumental virtuosity. Again, the artisticvision of Hirasaki and the concerto K�ln captures theimagination of the listener with an accurate recreation ofthe historic sound and an innovative, refreshinginterpretation.
