Zelenka MP3 Files
The links below will access MP3 files taken from
the
second edit of a recording of Dresden wind sonatas made in the Music
Hall, Troy, NY, during September
of 2001.
Dorian Records arranged the sessions and planned to release
the CD but this company went bankrupt
in 2004 and the material reverted to my ownership. These
MP3 files are free for downloading and listening, for commerical use please contact me.

Staten, hautboys

A note on the continuo group: In
the
autograph manuscript of sonatas #4 and 5, Zelenka suggested that the
basso continuo be played by violone and theorbo. As a bass
player, Zelenka may well have played himself, and the theorbo
may
have been played by the great lute virtuoso Silvius Leopold Weiss, who
was in residence at the Dresden court.
