Release of PGM Recordings (after 10 years)

After ten years in storage, the original inventory of PGM Recordings CDs may now be purchased online

These CDs were held "on ice" after the tragic and untimely death of the US-based producer Gabe Wiener some 10 years ago. This man was dedicated to excellence in the performance of early music and baroque works and also to excellence in the engineering side of sound recording, which makes each issue a collector's item.

Of special interest is the CD "Divoti Affetti: Early Music at the Court of Dresden" with works by Fux, Heinichen and Ristori (all of whom were close associates of Zelenka), and a CD of Recorder Sonatas by Francesco Maria Veracini (a member of the orchestra in which Zelenka played contrabass).

You can sample some sublime Fux from the Divoti Affetti CD here. Jennifer Lane (mezzo-soprano), New York Baroque directed by Eric Milnes.
