Dresden – Prag – Wien

Known as the "Bohemian Bach," Baroque master Jan Dismas Zelenka made his career at the Dresden court. Conductor Václav Luks considers him Bach's equal. This concert presents Zelenka alongside works by Pisendel, Weber, and Koželuh. Czech early music specialist Luks frames the program with Zelenka and Leopold Koželuh, who succeeded Mozart at the Salzburg court. Koželuh's works are reminiscent of Beethoven and Schubert. Clarinetist Sharon Kam performs Weber's Clarinet Concerto No. 2.
