Unanswered questions
Why have almost no recordings of Zelenka's music come from the USA?
Why have very few of the largest record companies produced recordings of Zelenka's music?
Why has the impressive Hong Kong-based super-budget label Naxos never featured Zelenka's music on CD (apart from the fanfares, which really don't count considering what else he produced)?
