Description: Now that Zelenka's orchestral and chamber music has practically achieved standard-rep status, this enterprising Swiss label offers us an 81-minute program consisting of motets dating from as early as 1722 and as late as 1736, all written for the castrato or haute-contre voice with two eight-minute orchestral works as leavening. Latin-English texts. Alex Potter (countertenor), Capriccio Baroque Orchestra; Dominik Kiefer.
