Thanks! Pleasure to know it's read and that tastes align. And I have more Zelenka/Blažíková-joy to come, by way of the album of Italian Arias, which was also recently released.

Mainly I know Zelenka for his Trio Sonatas, based on the recordings by Soloists of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and Zafiro. Anyone have a favorite recording of these works that they would care to suggest?

Zefiro is very nice (oboe: Alfredo Bernardini and Paolo Grazzi, bassoon: Alberto Grazzi, continuo: Rinaldo Alessandrini, Rolf Lislevand, Lorenz Duftschmid), so is this:

Rekindling this thread with a few snaps from my summer pilgrimage to Zelenka's birthplace, Louňovice pod Blaníkem. Cozy little market town, not much to see there, but a common stop on the hike to the top of Blaník mountain, which might sound familiar thanks to a certain guy named Smetana.

And yeah, the Votiva (and especially Blažíková weaving ,,Eleison" at 6:19) still melts my heart.

Thank you so much for posting the video, the photos and your comments! I really hope to visit Czechia one day as some of my favorite composers are from there. I'm also a big Supraphon fan as well and love to travel.

Feel free to hit me up with questions if you ever get a chance to go. The least I can do is advise you on Prague tourist traps

And point you to the last remaining Supraphon store!
