CD Reviews

Uneven performance of a masterpiece

Claude Greenmount | The Universe | 01/25/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Zelenka is a woefully neglected composer whose music deserves to be heard far more often than it is. This performance is not bad, the trumpets (the score call for 4) are a bit overpowering as modern D and F-trumpets are used (trumpets in the Baroque era sounded more like woodwinds and blended with strings and voices quite easily), the motets seem under-rehearsed.

But, one can hear the quality of the music easily enough, so if you want to acquaint yourself with another Baroque master who isn't Bach, Handel, or Vivaldi, Zelenka is a good one to start with."
