I think that nobody would disagree that Iceland deserves this premiere.

Google translate is not perfectly clear, but it seems that Ensemble Inegal will perform Missa Eucharistica ZWV 15 and Te Deum ZWV 145 on 11 April in Prague. A future album?
Vážení a milí přátelé,
ve čtvrtek 11. května 2023 v 19:30 zazní v pražském kostele U Salvátora poprvé v Čechách a poprvé po 250 letech dvě velkolepá díla Jana Dismase Zelenky, Missa Eucharistica ZWV 15 a Te Deum ZWV 145.
Srdečně Vás zveme k návštěvě koncertu, kde se můžete stát svědky vzkříšení dosud neznámé Zelenkovy hudby a společně s námi objevit skutečnou podobu dalšího z bílých míst na pomyslné mapě evropského baroka. Bude se jednat o jubilejní desátou Zelenkovu mešní kompozici v české novodobé premiéře v podání Ensemble Inégal, tentokrát v mimořádně slavnostním hávu se sólisty, sborem a orchestrem s hoboji, flétnami, chalumeau, fagotem, lesními rohy, trubkami a tympány.
Vstupenky si můžete zakoupit v předprodeji sítě GoOut zde nebo 30 minut před začátkem koncertu v místě konání.
Těšíme se na setkání s Vámi, za Ensemble Inégal,
Eva Zbytovská -

Indeed, Zefiro’s Alfredo Bernardino writes in the booklet, without any reservations:
“The young nobleman [Frederick August II] (...) brought with him to the capital of the “Serenissima Repubblica” some of the leading musicians of his court orchestra, including the first violinist Georg Pisendel, the oboist Johann Christian Richter and the double bass player Jan Dismas Zelenka. (...). While Pisendel struck up a friendship with Antonio Vivaldi, many of whose concertos and sonatas he copied, Zelenka took lessons from the charismatic Antonio Lotti.”
I can recommend the CD.

If my knowledge of Czech language (i.e, google translate) is up to date, it seems that Ensemble Inegal will indeed (as predicted by djdresden) record ZWV 4 on CD (in November of this year). From a yesterday’s posting on their Facebook page: “Další Zelenkova díla, Missu Sancti Spiritu a Litaniae Lauretanae se chystáme v listopadu natočit na CD a uvedeme ji také v Praze.“

As you may know, Zelenka possessed copies of Brixi's work and apparently Brixi was influenced by Zelenka:

Denis Collins (2019) “Zelenka and the Combinative Impulse: Contrapuntal Techniques in the Miserere in D Minor, ZWV 56,” Musicology Australia, 41:2, 199-225, DOI:10.1080/08145857.2019.1703488
To be fully transparent, I did not read the article itself (yet), only the press release (https://music.uq.edu.au/articl…ing-18th-century-composer), but I found the following paragraph in the press release quite intriguing: "The article uncovers the wealth of combinative possibilities running through all parts of the Miserere. A major discovery is Associate Professor Collins’s solution to the riddle of an alternative performance possibility for one section of the work based on turning the page of music upside down and reading the original notation backwards".

Just in case I was not the only one who, as a result of the present circumstances, missed it: Missa 1724; Salve Regina / Vaclav Luks; Collegium 1704; Collegium Vocale 1704 has been issued recently. It may give some positive distraction. Take care!
