Info for Zelenka: The Capriccios

Little is know about Jan Dismas Zelenkas life as a composer working in the Catholic Court of Dresden. No memoirs or letters from Zelenka survive and only a few documents regarding his personal life have been discovered.

The study and hearing of Zelenkas music is central to understand his contributions. Only recently have scholars begun to examine Zelenkas rich output and his place within the extremely colorful and imaginative school of Dresdens musical Baroque. Recent research shows Zelenkas music as representative of a pinnacle of high Baroque art and as demonstrating exceptional compositional technique, brilliant melodic inventiveness, and a shear uniqueness of style.

His instrumental works, in particular, may rival or comfortably sit alongside those of his better known European contemporaries: Telemann; Rameau; Handel; and J. S. Bach. Recognized as one of North Americas premiere natural horn specialists, R. J. Kelley was recently hailed in the Horn Call (Journal of the International Horn Society) as performing with virtuosity, precision, and a stylistic mastery that could be matched by few, surpassed by none. Composer: Zelenka, Jan Dismas Conductor: Abraham, Daniel E.
