Bach Ensemble Lucerne: «Bohemian and German Baroque - Zelenka meets Bach»
The name Zelenka was long considered an insider tip. Nowadays, his name shines when the Czech Baroque is highlighted. In his compositions, Zelenka shows his cosmopolitanism: he combines the Italian with his Bohemian and French traditions and creates his very own style! In its concert, the Bach Ensemble Lucerne juxtaposes Zelenka's nine-part litany “Salus infirmorum” with two cantatas by J.S. Bach: BWV 163: “Nur jedem das Seine” and BWV 162: “Ach, ich sehe” were both first performed in 1715. Salomon Franck, the librettist of these two cantatas, is one of the most original poets that Bach employed for his cantatas.
