Lovely recording (modern day premiere?) of this jewel, which Zelenka later reworked into the Salve Regina (ZWV 135). ZWV 204 is still listed as “Doubtful” in the Zelenka work list but as Jan Stockigt...

Brilliant!!

And, to add to the entry above, this is not to be missed at any cost: Luks and Collegium 1704 performing Zelenka’s arrangement of Caldara’s stunning Missa Matris Dolorosa, from the masked Sepultura...

Friends,

earlier this month Vaclav Luks and Collegium 1704 performed at the Smetana Festival in Litosmysl. The exciting program included what is announced as the modern day premiere of Credo ZWV...

Thanks Msl, this is very welcoming news and I look forward to get a copy. What I read from the introduction gives me great hope that the author has done his homework and is well up to date with the...

The full program of the upcoming conference has been announced, see below. There are some really interesting papers this year and the one I am looking most forward to is from Pavel Jurák, who will...

This is terrific news. With these works to be released by Luks, Ensemble Inegale's upcoming release of ZWV 1 & ZWV 166, plus the recent release of ZWV 191, we are getting closer to having Zelenka’s...

Please note that the Festival/Conference dates were incorrectly given in the official website, but this has now been fixed. The program looks like this, with the conference taking place on Friday...

Thank you dear Leszek for sharing this wonderful letter.

Dear friends,

it is with a heavy heart that I report the tragic death of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Horn, one of the great Zelenka scholars.

Horn’s dissertation “Die Dresdner Hofkirchenmusik 1720–1745"...

The accompanying piece is the offertory Currite ad aras (ZWV 166), which Zelenka composed in Vienna in June 1716. So it's a very welcoming early Zelenka program for the next CD. Let's hope we'll hear...

Friends,

I’ve been told by Adam Viktora that the 2019 Zelenka Festival & Conference will kick off on the 340th birthday of our composer, Wednesday 16 October. The conference will be held on Friday...

I am very pleased to say that as in the previous years, the Zelenka Conference 2018 is shaping up to be one of real importance and substance. I now see that two outstanding Czech scholars have been...

On the heels of Ensemble Inégal’s very successful performance of Gesu al Calvario in Leipzig, I can now report on another incredibly exciting concert coming up in that same city. This time it’s the...

I attended this nice concert, in the beautiful Tyska Kirkan in the Gamla Stan part of Stockholm. It was great to hear Ensemble Inégal bring Zelenka to the Swedish audience, who were very receptive to...

Alistair, be my guest:

Her spelling of Zelenka with a "c" confirms that at least she read the Virtuosen poem I sent!

Fearing the worst, I immediately emailed BBC on Friday with a standard “template” text I sometimes send to institutions who post or publish incorrect information about Zelenka on their websites. This...

bottoms up:D

Lezhneva meeting Zelenka? Wow, that promises to be something. She's a wonderful singer. Let's hope SWR2 will broadcast this exciting concert at a later date – they usually document well what Bernius...

In 2007 I wrote the following here in the Forum, on Zelenka’s student:

"Harrer, a vital piece in the Zelenka puzzle, is an important link for the distribution of Zelenka's music outside of...

Thanks Seb, this was absolutely brilliant to hear! Zelenka's trumpet pieces played freely, and with style and vigour!

I just want to add for the record, and for my many Forum friends, that I am...

All very interesting. A further study, showing in a systematic academic way the similarities between the above mentioned examples of CPE and Zelenka, is clearly needed here. Robin, why don’t you...

Great stuff! This sounds quite convincing. And no, I can’t recall this being mentioned in the literature, the reason perhaps being that CPE Bach’s cantata only recently resurfaced in the...

The war loot taken from Dresden in 1745-46 was split between the different institutions in the former Soviet Union. So the music removed from the SLUB, including the missing vesper psalms listed...

Thank you King Max, this is very good news. It is important that the good and noble work of Alistair will be continued and built upon. So I wish you well for the future in your role as a custodian of...
