Duration100 Min

Heinz Holliger's 1972 recordings of Jan Dismas Zelenka's (1679-1745) trio sonatas for Archiv saved the Czech-born Dresden court composer from oblivion and even sparked a veritable "Zelenka Renaissance." A quarter of a century later, the virtuoso oboist Holliger and his fellow musicians are once again turning their attention to this powerful, unique music, offering an even more impressive interpretation for the New Series. Holliger explains: "It is precisely those compositions that never fully reveal their secrets that give meaning to a performer's existence. Engaging with these masterpieces remains a lifelong endeavor."
