35-page Survey of Zelenka's Music on CD

By David Nelson

This valuable new survey will also be published by the Dvorak Society in the UK.

With few (if any) exceptions, it covers all of the Zelenka recordings currently available on CD. The works are listed in a well-defined order (with ZWV numbers) so that they are easy to find, starting with the Masses and ending with the orchestral music.

You may not agree with all of David's preferences, but everyone who is interested in Zelenka's music will find this compelling reading.
