@MikJFr You're welcome! Thanks for watching! The obbligato is a chalumeau.

[@MikJFr]

Love this work! Love the really sad opening, repeated towards the end; love the extended clarinet (chalumeau?) obligato in the first half of the two halves here. Also a great performance - what more could one want? Thank you OrinCorr!

BELLISIMO REQUIEM, ESTE OPUS 48 ESTA ENTRE LOS MAS HERMOSOS DEL BARROCO, UNA PENA QUE NO ESTE COMPLETO

Anyone noticed the similarity between the 'Requiem' theme introduced at the start, and the main subject in the C# minor fugue (BWV 849) of J S Bach?

[@fflambeauutube]

+Adenosin I Bach and Zelenka were exact contemporaries and good friends. They knew each others music well. Bach wrote many letters praising Zelenka who composed music for the nearby court of Dresden (Bach was in Leipzig). Bach asked his son, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, to copy out some of Zelenka's music (from the "Magnificat") so he could have it performed in Leipzig. Now THAT is a recommendation.

[@hexag1441]

All of that is true, but this only happened in the 1730s and later. Not in the 1720s, especially not the time of this requiem. When J S Bach sent his Mass in B minor to the Dresden court in 1733, that was the time W F Bach was employed as an organist at St Sophia's. It was also the time Bach became director of Leipzig's Collegium Musicum. _This_ was the period in which Bach would've encountered Zelenka. The Czech master was unable to publish his works, because of Augustus II wished to emulate the Sistine Chapel in their secrecy. Both Zelenka and Bach have their strengths and weaknesses, but I think they compensate for one another. Ronnie Moore

Adenosin

[@violinoamore]

It is in the same level as Mozart's Requiem

[@fflambeauutube]

Has this group been renamed and is it now the Czech Ensemble Baroque?

[@zralokvemigraci]

yes

[@AntonioPradoit]

Thank you for sharing. I didn't find anything about this ensemble. Could be possible to share also those players names?
