Miserere in C minor, ZWV 57 @ the prestigious BBC Proms

    In 5 days time Zelenka's "famous" Miserere setting in C Minor will be performed at the BBC Proms, perhaps the closest Zelenka has yet to come to the mainstream.

    I am not sure if you will be able to hear / see the concert via this link, but I will certainly be attempting to.

    Zelenka was then also seen by Phoebus,

    who rightly praised him as follows:

    You most highly praised, perfect VIRTUOS,

    Your self-gained fame is world-renowned and great;

    You can for the Glory of God, delight the Soul,

    and movingly compose Church music,

    which is so touching, that the devotional Breast

    already experiences the Foretaste of Pleasures of Heavens;

    Therefore Your Praise will blossom according to your Name,

    Both here on Earth and on the stage of the Stars.

    - Johann Gottlob Kittel
