The recording was made with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
The recording is of a high artistic and technical standard, with excellent specialists participating in its creation – conductor Václav Luks, Collegium 1704 and Collegium vocale 1704, in the line-up of Hana Blažíková (soprano), Kamila Mazalová and Marta Fadljevičová (alto), Václav Čížek and Čeněk Svoboda (tenor), Tomáš Král and Jaromír Nosek (bass). (...) In short: another title that should be purchased by anyone who is interested in the work of Jan Dismas Zelenka and his contemporaries, or who follows the development of the movement for historically informed interpretation of older music in our country.
Michaela Freemanová, Harmonie
