About

Zelenka’s sonatas are exceptional works in the repertoire of Baroque chamber music, but because of their great difficulty, they appear only occasionally in concert programmes. Recordings of these sonatas are equally rare. The last complete recording of all six sonatas on historical instruments was made over 20 years ago by Ensemble Zefiro in 1993, so this new recording by the Prague-based ensemble Collegium 1704, known for their excellent Zelenka interpretations and recordings, has been eagerly awaited!

Awards and reviews

August 2017

Hats off to bassoonist Jane Gower for negotiating everything thrown at her with such panache; but then unbridled vivacity and virtuosity proves to be a Collegium 1704 calling card. Effortless conversational rapport is coupled with expressive savoir faire.The fugal writing is dexterously characterised; slow movements sing.

These performances by the Prague-based Collegium 1704, with the continuo line shared between harpsichord, lute and double bass, are models of clarity and easily carried virtuosity. There’s a buoyancy to the textures and rhythms in everything, and the solo playing is all impeccable.
