CD Reviews

Joyous, glorious, and sensitive--a perfect celebration
J. C Clark | Overland Park, KS United States | 07/09/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"What a disc. This music is both dense and simple, somber yet cheerful, complex and transparent, ornamented and very straightforward. Just like the Christianity it celebrates, this music is a mixture of the mysterious and the open, and makes an absolutely riveting CD.The performances are sensational; these folks know this music. Recorded in Prague by a Czech chorus, the language flows and bubbles, the music never standing still and always going someplace interesting. And Zelenka, a massively underappreciated genius, is a man who wrote for the ages. Certainly not as influential as his great coevals Bach, Telemann and Vivaldi, his music is every bit as beautiful.A flawless disc, one I listen to often with immense pelasure."
