Awesome! Great work! Pleeease give me a few days to copy some ancient PMs I'm keeping stored!

I will try to figure out which recordings are missing and add them to the catalogue...

This is tragic.

I've only had brief contact with Prof. Horn, around the release of the ZWV 6 CD. He struck me as an overwhelmingly nice person. To share with everyone that little glimpse at what kind of man he was that was my honor to experience, here is the file he sent me afterwards: a nice message followed by an extremely clear reduction in his own hand of (fragments of) ZWV 6: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1y9…WV6Exzerpt_WHorn.pdf?dl=0

Thank you very much, Seb, for this! I really hope I will attend some year...

Great! More than a year ago I was approached by a Hungarian conductor to use my score of the Litanies (http://imslp.org/wiki/Litanie_…tori%2C_Giovanni_Alberto) ). I offered to create the parts and so on. Sadly nothing has come out of this. It's great to see that the nice work is getting some attention.

Thanks for doing this, rnkt! Sounds great! I have a number of interesting (publicly accessible) PDFs from Dresden sitting on my harddrive and waiting to be transcribed, Harrer, Doles, Butz, Schuerer I think too... no time, though. I hope someone else does it

The album is finally on Spotify, free for everyone to listen to: https://open.spotify.com/album/4fxqQvOL4WdqchfSvc12Ig

Sadly, the metadata for the album do not include Zelenka. I have no idea why. I will inquire.

See here: https://digital.slub-dresden.de/en/workview/dlf/192763/

(seems to be a XIXth century copy)

This one: https://open.spotify.com/album/4K6789XMbHxTN5Jj6I6oZf contains the soprano Laudate Pueri ZWV 81. Zelenka's name isn't in the metadata

Here: https://open.spotify.com/album/0p0vPwdbNLgE8aAONwCjgt is the Hana Blazikova's 'Ave Regina' Fux disc, which you will not find when searching for Blazikova

Sorry for the late info, but for the record: the Kantorei Sankt Barbara will perform the 2nd Sub tuum praesidium, along with the BWV 33 cantata, during a German-language mass on the 25th of June 2017 (Krakow, St Barbara Church): http://en.kantorei.pl/news/26/

Congratulations! Must've been great fun! I think especially your soprano has a potential to become a very good choir singer

I have 2 comments regarding the fantastic scores of the 'Sub tuum praesidium' settings.

First, p. 10, bar 116: the sopranos should have 'd g d' at the beginning, and not 'd a d'.

Second, Skaf, may I ask why you have opted for the spelling 'Genetrix' instead of the 'Genitrix' from the manuscript (which is also the spelling in which I've known the prayer)? I hadn't known the 'Genetrix' spelling was also correct (now I do)

Link to the manuscript:

Thanks again for the hard work! We will be performing the 2nd piece in Krakow from Skaf's score.

Here: https://open.spotify.com/album/3gWWmOu5OUocaB5YhB4af1 is the marvelous Zach Requiem disc from Supraphon, which you will not find while searching for 'Zach', since the composer name is missing from the metadata

I want to report that Skaf uploaded the Litanies ZWV 151: http://imslp.org/wiki/Litaniae…151_(Zelenka,_Jan_Dismas) The whole niche community is surely immensely grateful!

I also noticed that Skaf did also one of the masses by Reutter the Elder: http://imslp.org/wiki/Missa_Su…r_der_%C3%84ltere,_Georg) Your speed of work, Skaf, is amazing, especially considering the quality!

The parts were taken, not destroyed? Then there's still hope -- is the stuff they found in Kiev already properly catalogued? (I remember it was the archive of the SingAkademie zu Berlin, but maybe something more?)

This is great news! I was wondering whether I could contribute anything (I'm an almost complete amateur; my only experience is building a website-drive website for my institute in Django), but I'm really glad to see a professional has stepped up

I can confirm it IS available from Poland Thank you very much!

As you might know, Spotify is a veritable treasure trove of Baroque music... if you can find it! The metadata situation there is abysmal, and you simply will miss many recordings if you search by composer / performer. In this thread I would like to share some information about CDs which may be of interest to Baroque enthusiasts, which are definitely not well known, and which are available legally for free for any Spotify subscriber. (Or completely free, with ads between every 5 tracks or something, if you don't want to pay.)

THE XVIII CENTURY CANTATAS FROM GDANSK

The Sarton label has published a few CDs with XVIIIth-century cantatas from Gdansk (Danzig), under A.M. Szadejko.

Links:

'The Gdansk Baroque Cantatas': https://open.spotify.com/album/6V6GXRaHpw7XAGdx5E8S8w

'Lent Cantatas of 18th Century Gdansk': https://open.spotify.com/album/3WnBqSwqXGvoBDNOHSfesa

'Christmas Cantatas of 18th Century Gdansk': https://open.spotify.com/album/0rgxnWCsxcZgy28AOmeGWG

'Passio Christi by Johann Balthasar Christian Freisslich': https://open.spotify.com/album/5ChU1eRefpMBwYs2lZZmKy

'Easter Cantatas of 18th Century Gdansk': https://open.spotify.com/album/7oxOVAdytYvT50v9g5P490

All those are worth hearing. I hope we get more recordings of composers like Du Grain or Pucklitz (with his interesting take on 'Jesu, meines Lebens Leben' on the 'Lent cantatas' disc).

ALSO FROM GDANSK

'Du Grain: Complete Harpsichord Concertos': https://open.spotify.com/album/7tg1XmnLsiyAUfX4Y5FU4M

ORGAN MUSIC

'Organ Fugues of the Czech Baroque and Classicism': https://open.spotify.com/album/4o53kRc9GQhj7racfSSW5y (no metadata at all! This disc will come up in NO SEARCH apart from "label:supraphon, which is how I found it. There is NO information about the composers!)

'Czech Organ Music of Baroque and Classicism': https://open.spotify.com/album/7b7wsSGhFlgR3HMjK5fxMx (a different disc, with some data regarding the composers)

'Czech and Moravian Baroque Organ': https://open.spotify.com/album/69OfzRwauWyNfydURthvgh [a vinyl classic by J. Reinberger]

You're a true hero, Skaf. [After comparing your rendition of Kyrie 1 and mine I really feel like an idiot, I have no idea how I missed quite a few important things...]

Thank you very very much!

It seems Da Capo rearranged the way pieces were divided into volumes for the reprint; probably it's reasonable that they did it.

I found some nice fugues by Albrechtsberger and Kirnberger that I had no idea existed in volume X at the IMSLP. [I'm still trying to find a source for the magnificent Albrechtsberger fugue used by Kraus in his Ouverture VB 147.]

Thanks for the Woelfl recommendation. I'm listening to the Sonarti disc with his Piano Sonata in B Minor (op 38) now, until today I only knew some of his string quartets.

edit: for the Albrechtsberger / Kraus fugue go here: https://youtu.be/90z1LftfVYE?t=350

edit 2: I knew I forgot something! To get back to the topic :-), I recommend a very nicely played CD with his Harpsichord Concerto in E : http://en.dux.pl/-oh-schreyfogel-schaffrath-visconti.html
