Zelenka - Trio Sonatas 1-6

6 trio sonatas for two oboes (or violin and oboe), bassoon and basso continuo by Jan Dismas Zelenka, performed by: Jana Brožková - oboe, Vojtěch Jouza - oboe, Václav Hoskovec - double bass, Jan Jouza - violin, Jaroslav Kubita - bassoon, F.X.Thuri - harpsichord. These sonatas, typical of the period, are fourmovement sonatas known as “da chiesa" and comprise one of the highpoints of Zelenka's contrapunctal art. He broke with the traditional conception of the trio sonata by enhancing the role of the bassoon, giving it an independent melodic voice instead of using it to merely accompany.
