The CD of Zelenka´s Missa purificationis or „Our Lady´s Purification“ Mass comes out in a world premiere in a breath-taking rendition by Adam Viktora and Ensemble Inégal. How many brilliant peak-Baroque works are waiting yet for a sensitive hand able to rid them of the layer of dust and reintroduce them to the ears of fervent listeners, for the ears of musicologists, for the uplifting of all of us? The recording was made using authentic period instruments at the Church of Our Lady under Chains in Prague. The mass is followed by Litaniae lauretanae „Consolatrix afflictorum“
