Petr WagnerAbout
Throughout the 1720s Zelenka composed mainly sacred music for the Catholic church, but after Johann David Heinichen's death Zelenka petitioned officially for the post of Kapellmeister in 1733, writing a set of eight Italian arias as the court wished to re-establish opera in Dresden.
It has to be admitted that the surviving arias – even though masterpieces – reflect a certain negligence of the standard principles of theatrical style, which may have been difficult or, more likely, unimportant for a composer who had devoted his life to church music. However, these unorthodox arias represent a good example of Zelenka’s unique style.
The Prague-based Ensemble Tourbillon and Petr Wagner present the first complete recording of the eight Italian arias. Singers are Czech soprano star Hana Blažíková (five arias) assisted by the promising mezzo-soprano Markéta Cukrová (two arias) and the Slovakian bass Tomáš Šelc (one aria).
