For those who are in the vicinity of Stockholm next week

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 the magic of our composer. I saw ecstatic smiles on many faces and saw tears being wiped away, signs that Zelenka touched the hearts of many. Great Psalmi Vespertini program, with a very welcoming surprise as a first encore: the rocket-like Lauda Jerusalem (ZWV 102) from the upcoming Psalmi varii CD.

The concert, which launched the annual Early Music Festival, was broadcast live by the Swedish Radio P2, and you can listen in here:

This very nice concert (including the encore from the new CD) was broadcast on BBC R3 last Sunday complete with the usual poorly researched drivel the BBC puts out about Zelenka (melancholic, withdrew himself in later years, death went unnoticed etc etc).
