Jan Dismas Zelenka: Missa Nativitatis Domini
J. S. Bach: Magnificat BWV 243
Works by Jan Dismas Zelenka and J. S. Bach will be performed at the Advent-Christmas concert by the Czech Ensemble Inegal under the direction of Adam Viktora. Zelenka was a contemporary of Bach and Händel and is considered the most important Bohemian master of the Baroque period. Zelenka's Christmas Mass presents a vivid picture of the sonic splendor of the High Baroque in Dresden.
Bach intoned the text of the Magnificat with all the splendor and weight of late Baroque content, creating a unique, cohesive and powerful work. It is one of Bach's most popular vocal works.
