“Czech Bach” Jan Dismas Zelenka
The third part of our video series on Czech Music Greats is devoted to the work of Jan Dismas Zelenka, known as the “Czech Bach”.
Zelenka, who was born in Lounovice pod Blaníkem in 1679, is considered on one of the most significant Baroque composers, yet his music was largely forgotten after his death and was only rediscovered more than a century later. Today all his works are available in digitized form and have become increasingly popular with the public.
