Hello everyone,

After a long period, injuries sustained from various campaigns, and many adventures, the new Discover Zelenka has been released (see https://www.jdzelenka.net ;)). Although some...

Andrew Faltonson, who runs the online webcast "Visage: An Exploration through the Centuries in Music", will be presenting the music of Zelenka during October 2018, at...

The sea was somewhat rough, but it seems the ship has arrived at port and the transfer is complete.

Onto the next adventure then: transitioning to a new-look site and new forum software.

Well, time does go by quickly! But then, ruling over a whole empire is not an easy task :rolleyes:.

I wanted to let everyone know that, after a long wait, the time has come to finally transfer...

Thank you, everyone, for your support, I really appreciate it! At the moment I am looking at where the best place to host the site is (in terms of cost, ease of migrating the forum, etc.), what tools...

My full support for this idea. It was quite recently that I found out about some of Tomas Kral's concert performances on youtube.com, including Zelenka's Confitebor tibi Domine (ZWV 71) -- and they...

Yes, I fully agree that one can't assume variety is the reason for Adam Viktora's new recording. I suggested it as just one possibility (i.e. "it could be ..."), but one can only guess. I suppose it...

I thought I should add my voice to this debate, taking the "middle path" :).

It could be that Adam Viktora and ensemble Inegal wanted to give themselves a small break from the Baroque world. This...

The anticipated recording by Vaclav Luks of Zelenka's Responsories ZWV 55 has been released on Accent :) . See link below:

Speaking of parallel composers, I felt I should add that if anyone is interested in a "parallel" J.S. Bach, they should try the German composer Max Reger. Besides his Bachian organ music, Reger wrote...
