The Czech composer Jan Dismas Zelenka was admired by Bach, who was sparing with praise for other composers, and in this Missa Divi Xaverii, ZWV 12, and its accompanying St. Xavier litany, you can hear why: although Zelenka comes from a slightly later stylistic layer, there is something Bachian about the combination of large ambitions and gravity in these movements. The ensemble for which the mass is scored -- four soloists, chorus, four trumpets, timpani, two flutes, two oboes, bassoon, strings, and a substantial continuo -- is rich by any Baroque standard, and the Czech Collegium 1704 and Collegium Vocale 1704 groups realize it superbly. It is not known why St. Xavier merited such a sumptuous treatment when this mass was composed in 1729. These groups delivered a magnificent recording of the Zelenka Missa Votiva, ZWV 18, in 2008, and for this recording they have moved to the Accent label from Zig Zag Territoires and benefited from support not only from the Czech culture ministry, but also from friends on Indiegogo. It was an even bigger project than the Missa Votiva was, involving not only world premieres of rare scores, but also, in the case of the mass, a difficult reconstruction of the score by conductor Václav Luks. There are sparkling Italianate soprano arias -- sample the "Benedictus" ravishingly delivered by Masaaki Suzuki's favorite Hana Blaziková -- framed by big contrapuntal movements based on linked themes and handled with Bachian skill. It is hard to avoid the feeling that, as with the earlier recording, this is a recording that will remake the High Baroque repertory, and that the ensembles' Indiegogo donors got more than their money's worth.
