Synopsis

Amazon.com

Zelenka's orchestral music, like that of Bach and Handel, is only a tiny fraction of his complete output, most of it being vocal--church music in particular. It's some of the most original and enjoyable music of the Baroque period. Bach himself was a colleague and admirer of Zelenka, and other contemporaries praised both his contrapuntal ingenuity, which makes for fascinating combinations of melodies, and the harmonic daring and "spice" of the tunes themselves. In the two Capriccios, the only thing that keeps them from being "greatest hits" is the appalling difficulty of playing them. The horn parts, in particular, are among the most challenging ever composed. Listening to these warm, witty, comfortable performances, you'd never know it. Essential listening for Baroque fans. --David Hurwitz

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's impossible to speak too highly of Jan Dismas Zelenka, one of the greatest composers of the XVIII Century. If you love Bach and Telemann, you must investigate Zelenka without delay. His music is so striking and original that someone called him "Bach with a touch or Charles Ives". In this recording you will be surprised with his exciting and exuberant Hipocondrie a 7, it's like nothing you have ever heard! His horn writing is almost criminal, but the excellent musicians of the Neu-Eroffnete Orchestra play with virtuoso ease. These two cd's (volume 2 is already available) are musts!"
