This two-CD set contains three large-scale sacred works and three Capriccios, instrumental suites of great virtuosity and brilliance, by Jan Dismas Zelenka. The works are heard here in definitive performances featuring renowned singers such as Rene Jacobs, Peter Schreier and Olaf Bar and the Virtuosi Saxoniae - an ensemble comprising some of the finest musicians from the Dresden Staatskapelle - under the baton of their founder, Ludwig Guttler.
