Zelenka Masterpiece, May 20, 2004
This review is from: Zelenka: Sub olea pacis et palma virtutis (Melodrama de Sancto Wenceslao ZWV 175) /Musica Florea * Boni Pueri * Stryncl (Audio CD)
This work, commissioned for the coronation of Charles the VI and Empress Christina, was the greatest artistic success of Zelenka's life. The piece was originally conceived as a grand staged pageant and therefor looses much of its continuity when listened to on CD. Nevertheless, it is a work of dazzling beauty and a must for anyone captivated by the profundity of this Bohemian Bach. The recording is superb in every respect.
