This CD presents "Sei Sonate, ZWV 181", a collection of six sonatas by the Bohemian baroque composer Jan Dismas Zelenka, interpreted by the renowned ensemble Zefiro. Specializing in historically informed performance on period instruments, Zefiro brings out the vitality, rhythmic drive and expressive intensity of these intricate chamber works, highlighting Zelenka's unique harmonic language and virtuosic writing for winds and continuo. The recording invites listeners into a refined yet passionate sound world, where contrapuntal finesse and dramatic contrasts reveal the richness of late baroque instrumental music. Careful attention to articulation, phrasing and baroque ornamentation makes this interpretation particularly compelling for connoisseurs of early music as well as curious newcomers.
Zefiro is an established baroque ensemble founded by leading specialists in historical performance practice, particularly admired for its work with 17th- and 18th-century wind repertoire. Over the years the group has built a strong reputation through acclaimed recordings and concert tours across major European festivals and venues, contributing significantly to the rediscovery of lesser-known masterpieces from the baroque era. Their interpretations are characterized by stylistic authenticity, technical brilliance and a vivid sense of musical rhetoric, which has earned them wide recognition in the early music scene.
