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:

Missa Corporis Domini ZWV 3 (behind a pay wall), performed by Collegium 1704.

Thanks a lot!

You are right. For convenience sake: here are the titles: https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rmus20/current.

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!

Many thanks indeed. Zelenka deserves a nice website indeed!

On 11 April 2010 Collegium 1704 will perform Zelenka's Lamentationes Jeremiæ Prophetæ and Responsaria in Hall (Austria).

I just recevied this email about Missa 1724. I normally do not engage in promotion, but I thought you might be interested in receiving an update about this project and in listening to a sample:

"Dear Collegium 1704 friends,

One of our most exciting projects at Collegium 1704 this autumn is a unique new CD recording featuring an ʻimaginary massʼ by the Bohemian Baroque composer Jan Dismas Zelenka.

Around the year 1724 the composer produced a number of individual mass-ordinary settings that, in juxtaposition, display a strong unity of expression and share a common instrumentation rather rare for Zelenka, one featuring the sound of trombones. The ʻimaginary massʼ reconstituted from these individual movements and given the project title Missa 1724 provides a glimpse into a hitherto unknown area of the composer’s work and is now to be released in a world premiere recording.

As overall costs for this exceptional recording project are to be in the region of 45 000 EUR, our CD now needs public support if it is to find its way onto the shelves.

And this is where you can help! Why not come and join us, combining your love of fine music with the artistry of Collegium 1704, who have been bringing the very unique oeuvre of this composer to listeners the world over since 2005?! Every contribution will help us reach that final goal together.

You can find out more about the recording by watching this video clip of Václav Luks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?…b199-84b143a19f-119965059

And a sample of music from the CD is available here on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?…b199-84b143a19f-119965059

Thank you for contributing!

My Italian is too rudementary to even consider buying this book and I do not know how detailed it is, but I just found out that this book was published this month:

Jan Dismas Zelenka. La vita e l'opera di un musicista boemo tra Praga, Dresda e Vienna (Claudio Bolzan)

https://www.mondadoristore.it/…ai978886540217/#tabMenu-4

Looking forward to traveling to Prague next Thursday for my first Zelenka festival.
