That was my source too. However after further reading I think it may not be correct.

http://www.academusedition.cz/en/title/jan-zach-requiem suggests it was composed in the 1730s in Prague (It also refers to Zelenka). The description at Amazon of the cd I referred to, which seems to be copied from the cd booklet, also refers to the 1730s. The music is also more baroque than classical (as his later music is referred to). 1730s may also be more likely since at that time he was working in several churches in Prague, while in the 1760 he was more or less jobless.

In any event the requiem is beautiful. I also recommend his other works.

Zach's requiem in c minor is from circa1760. If I may believe wikipedia he was at that time wandering through Europe after having been sacked form his post as court Kapellmeister in Mainz in 1756.

There is another recent version: ZACH J. (1713-1773) REQUIEM SOLEMNE IN C MINOR, VESPERAE DE BEATA VIRGINE IN D MAJOR / M.Srumova soprano, S.Cmugrova alto, C.Svoboda tenor, J.Nosek bass / Musica Florea, Collegium Floreum / M.Stryncl. I can recommend it.

I can recommend Epoca Barroca's 2 cds "Trios and Sonatas" and "6 Duettos"(CPO) with very nice Schaffrath music. I have to listen to the 2 albums again and try if I can hear Zelenka's influence.

Many thanks for all the accounts of the Zelenka festival 2016! Hope to attend next time.

Thanks a lot for the very detailed and inspiring review. I played both works this afternoon and tried to imagine how the concert would have been. Obviously that is a surrogate experience compared to yours, but nevertheless it made my afternoon.

Thanks a lot for the link. I look forward reading it over the weekend.

Hey Msl - it was absolutely brilliant!! Sorry that nothing has been posted yet. I ask for your patience, I am bogged down in work and other duties
There is a *lot* to mention and discuss. I understand now how djdresden must have felt like after last year's one!

For now, do enjoy this gem which was piblished last week: http://www.acecs.cz/?f_idx=4
If you click on the top poster, you will download the proceedings from last year's Zelenka Conference. Special mention for Johannes Augustsson and Jan Stockigt's immense article summarising the many updates to our understanding of Zelenka's life. It's been a long time coming. This year's conference will have the same treatment, I believe.

All the best,

Seb

PS. Thanks for linking that article with Viktora's interview. He mentions the Clavibus Unitis publication there!

Very curious to know how it was.

Hope you enjoy. For those who read Czech or do no mind using google translate, here is an interview with Viktora on the Zelenka festival: http://operaplus.cz/adam-vikto…ch-a-ochrane-varhan/?pa=1.
By the way it mentions this forum.

Ensemble Inégal 2016 - 23/6: Psalmi Vespertini II Kostel sv. Salvátora, Salvátorská 1, Prague.

It is beautiful. I am listening to it almost every day. Thank you so much.

No problem. The two albums will be an excellent remedy against the January blues.

You are right regarding the pre-orer. Sorry for that. I was too enthusiastic this morning.

There is a message on the Facebook page (which I am unable to copy) stating that the album is now available. Nice Christmas present.

It seems that Ensemble Tourbillon + Hana Blazikova have recorded ZWV 176 Italian arias. Will be issued in December or January. I am not sure whether this had already been noticed on this forum. Apologies if it has been. I found the news by accident on the Facebook site of Hana Blazikova while googling. I did not find any other information yet.
