About

It is to the distinctive compositional voice of Jan Dismas Zelenka that Ruben Jais and laBarocca turn for their latest release from the Glossa label, with a new recording of the Missa Omnium Sanctorum.

For more than thirty years Zelenka worked as a composer and as a double-bass player at the Dresden Court, the musical establishment which, in the first half of the Eighteenth Century, was regarded as one of the glories of its age. Zelenka finished this mass, an expansive, dynamic multi-movement work (notably the Gloria) scored for soloists, chorus and orchestra in 1741; by this time the composer was in his sixties and the mass stands as one of the summations of his creative endeavours.

The Milanese Ruben Jais - who has previously prepared programmes of Bach and Gluck for Glossa - provides exuberant conducting for music which takes in studied chordal sections, exhilarating fugues, High Baroque flourishes as well as the dance-like tendencies of the galant style.

In this musical diversity Ruben Jais is accompanied by a solo team consisting of Carlotta Colombo, Filippo Mineccia, Cyril Auvity and Lukas Zeman but with more than important contributions being required from the choral and instrumental forces of la Barocca.

Reviews

March 2020

Glorious soloists, all impressively graceful and proficient, include the fruity counter- tenor of Filippo Mineccia. It’s deliciously nimble, bright, and ‘dance-y’, with detailed responsiveness from the choir, and every nuance of Zelenka’s counterpoint expressed with vim.

July 2019

The choral singing is superbly accomplished in its balance, dexterity and poise: the big fugues, clean and clear, have plenty of élan…Jais finely judges the work’s oscillations between ceremony, drama and reflection, while the playing blends energy with great refinement.
