Many thanks for uploading the recording of this performance of an important work (ZWV 1) by Zelenka.

Grandi ! Grazie di cuore 1

[@petrouchka2011]

Bravo, I have been a big fan of Zelenka's sacred works, but this is the first time I listen to this missa. Is it usual to conduct while handling a violin? I was afraid lest he crushes it.

[@nottinghillad]

Back in those days, the orchestra was led either by the continuo, from the harpsichord or else the violin

[@TheOneAndOnlyZelenkaGuru]

@@nottinghillad Specifically, back in Zelenka's days, the concertmaster was the composer and violinist Johann Georg Pisendel, who would have lead the orchestra - unless he was sick or off vacationing to Vienna somewhere.

Magnifique interpretation de cette oeuvre de Mozart

[@hughrobertson7170]

I slogged through this just because it was Zelenka, but it's a muddy amateur recording, and you can't really tell whether the singers are any good or not. If you want Zelenka (and you should), stick with Vaclav Luks. However, you might check out the Benedictus (ca. 40:00) for its orchestration---true Zelenka.

[@graupner1345]

"stick with Vaclav Luks" ... what about Adam Viktora? Luks has a great portfolio, but In terms of number of CDs Ensemble Inégal has done far more for the Zelenka revival than any other band, and at no less quality. Also Inégal will be releasing a disc with exactly this mass on very soon! And to be fair on Musica Aeterna, I think this was a fine performance, just badly recorded.

[@nottinghillad]

i don't care. I thought it was a wonderful performance and that Benedictus was just out of this world. I imagine in his, and Bach's day they maybe were not as highly trained as performers today, and this how their music would have sounded. Beauty without flaw is the greatest flaw, and the viola in the Benedictus was just spot on

[@Evanaseveru]

@@graupner1345 Absolutely Adam Viktora - best för Zelenka :-)!

[@hbthomson]

@@graupner1345 I think Vaclav Luks and Adam Viktora are both superb for Zelenka.
