About
The King surrounded himself with renowned musicians of the time, with his orchestra including the harpsichordist CPE Bach, the phenomenal Czech violinist F Benda and J Ph Kirnberger, a pupil of J S Bach’s. The encounter between Bach and the King of Prussia subsequently gave rise to the famous collection Musikalisches Opfer (Musical Offering).
The fame of the spellbinding “Galant style” of the Baroque flautist Jana Semerádová has long since crossed the borders of the Czech lands: Wilbert Hazelzet’s pupil has performed to great acclaim at prestigious European festivals as a soloist and with her Collegium Marianum ensemble.
Her magical flute invites you to a musical feast at the Potsdam chateau featuring the greatest musicians of the time of King Frederick II.
Recorded in the St Francis of Assisi Church in the Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia, Prague, on December 10 and 12, 2011.
