- Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679-1745), the famous Czech composer who worked at the court in Dresden most probably wrote the pieces on this CD in Prague in 1723 for the local orchestra of Count Hartig.
- Zelenka's music still surprises the listener more than 250 years later. It is truly unconventional even for audiences in the 21st century!
- The recording was prepared according to the original manuscripts archived in the Landesbibliothek Dresden.
- These compositions offer a glimpse into the world of one of the most original and noteworthy musical geniuses.
