Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679-1745) Miserere in C minor ZWV57: Adagio/Andante ma non troppo/Gloria-aria/Gloria-choir-Sicut erat. Il Fondamento-Paul Dombrecht
Zelenka, ce compositeur baroque, contemporain de Jean-Sébastien Bach, mais tellement méconnu, vaut vraiment la peine qu'on s'y attarde...son oeuvre regorge de trésors.
I notice everybody who's 'discovered' Zelenka realises he was a great composer who stands at the top echelon of the late-Baroque pantheon together with J.S.Bach, Handel, Vivaldi and possibly Telemann. I agree!
This is great music. I follow the czech of Dresden ;) for some time - he met JS Bach and they exchanged mutual compliments. I think he is unduly neglected.
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can give me
At 13:07 we would expect a brilliant major conclusive chord and ... ouch!!! A dark minor and martial tone that remembers us how this piece is dramatic. I am also discovering Zelenka, this is beautiful.
Fantastic, this is the second work that i heard of Zelenka, both today!!! It is sad that i needed to just find this composer in my old age! May God have him in his glory conducting the angelic choirs!
+Chaim Yosef Mariategui-Levi I was lucky enough to find about him (and countless others) in my early (y)ears. I would strongly recommend Saint-Saens's Requiem to you. Have a go at it if you haven't already. It is, by far, the best vocal work I've heard in my life.
Hello Alexandros: I am not sure wether I Disma Zelenka was that much admired at his time and he ended up anonymoulsy. Only in the middle of the XX century was he rediscovered and if not acclaimed aknowledged for his great works.
CON TU ESCRITO PRETENDES APARECER ANTE LOS IGNORANTES.. COMO UN GRAN CONOCEDOR... HABLANDO IDIOTECES.. ¿DE QUE ORQUESTA BARROCA HABLAS?.. ESTA ES LA FILARMONICA DE BERLIN..
JAN DISMAS ZELENKA ( LOUNOVICE 1679-1745 DRESDE ) MISERERE IN C MINOR ZWV 57 . PAUL DOMBRECHT - II FONDAMENTO. On se lasse pas d'écouter ce MISERERE voix grandiose musique Eternel bravo considéré comme le plus important compositeur de la période baroque tchèque que apprécier Bach et TELEMANN.Merci RU-vid pour ce moment de musique baroque.
I listend to John passion millions time and attended the live performance , yet I think this composition is totally different from Bach's ,,, this is an absolute sophistacted beautiful work
One of his most beautiful masterpieces indeed For real baroque connoisseurs ZELENKA is a gem If you listen to his sonatas specially in minor key He was really underrated I hope you hear more works of him soon
Such an amazing piece, and so daring for it's time as well! Notice how it doesn't reach a completed cadence until at least a couple of minutes in, every time it feels like it's coming to one, he puts it off. Such driving rhythm and power as well, excellent stuff.
+Maxwell Garrison Thanks for that. Corelli was another genius during the Baroque. I have yet to have heard anything he wrote that I do not like. Zelenka is full of surprises. Ahead of his time too.
+Susan DA: That is simply what in more modern times would be called a "recap" or recapitulation. He doesn't end what has been going on, he just stops everything by bringing back the opening theme. It never occurred to me that it would sound "startling!!"
+Susan DA It's a musical pun on the psalm doxology text: 'Sicut Erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen' '*As it was in the beginning*, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen' Zelenka does it in the most shocking way possible here :)
The Glory Be isn't really a psalm though. It's a prayer not even, as far as I'm aware, found in the Bible (though I'm sure similar phrasing can be found, perhaps that which influenced the writing of the prayer).
+Viktor Ivan Vavřínek it's called the minor doxology, in Christian tradition said at the end of psalms, canticles amd resppnsories (so, throughout the liturgy of hours): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Patri So, therefore you also find it at the end of Magnificat compositions, for example.
Bach admired Zelenka. Zelenka has been called the Bohemian Bach and also Bach on steroids. Was Zelenka better than Bach? Maybe. Zelenka's melodical inventions and his energetic style are often at least as good as Bach. Some of his compositional lines are mindblowing. He was a double bass player. His scores for the bass are notoriously difficult. But they propel his compositions with unsurpassed verve. As has been said, Bach on steroids. Leo Depuydt
Perhaps, rather, Bach in colour. I grew up when movies were in black and white, and still find colour magnificent but unexpected, still find black and white more real, more reassuring. And so it is, for me, with Zelenka, whom I have only recently met - magnificent and unexpected but a complement to, not a replacement for, Bach - I want both.
Zelenka's music is strongly reminiscent of Mozarts masses to such a degree that it would be very surprising if Mozart didn't know him well. That being the case Mozart was far less original in his masses than we thought.
A Czech composer who is absolutely exceptional and incomparable. His music elevates above others. It is about the genius of music beyond time and space and yet so close to the heart of a man without prejudice. Too bad a lot of his work wasn't found. Comparing him to Bach is an insult to both the great Zelenka himself and the better-known great Bach. Let us not compare with anyone and listen to the music of an underappreciated master such as the divine Jan Dismas Zelenka.
In che misura e accordi si cerca la misericordia di Dio ?Mi piace molto questo autore da me scoperto da qualche giorno per lo spessore armonico e il timro suggestivo della melodia.Non sempre la fortuna,mi pare,premia i più meritevoli".
+Veit-Sebastian Dietrich Just a personal opinion: contemporary (popular) music would be a little more 'eatable' if ... don't shoot the piano player but shoot the drummer.
Just delicious, this music, this performance. I knew Bach and Beethoven but not Zelenka. Perhaps ... the alphabet ;-)? The cadence make me think of ... uh ... Buxtehudes 'Jesu, meines lebens leben'. En is ene Paul Dombrecht missschien een 'kaaskop'? Dank voor deze plaatsing!
No barroco a música era para ouvir fosse lá que fosse para o que foi destinada. Prelúdios era uma forma de estudar, e começou-se a tocar prelúdios para se ouvir em concerto.
The score and original manuscript of this masterpiece of Zelenka created by me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HtbENq_Oxc0.html And a playlist of my other score-videos of Bach's equal: ru-vid.com/group/PLafpqg3vsKmeqZ960zC8TcjT1x4-I-zM7
My favorite of Zelenka.. along with Missa Dei Patris!! I've bought pretty much everything there is from that composer. One of the better representative of Baroque (and Boyce I guess) out there ...
