About

Throughout the 18th century, Prague was a significant European centre. In music, it fused influences primarily from Dresden, Vienna and Italy, with the famous Czech musicality and folk culture.

Václav Gunther Jacob’s Missa Dei Filii is an example of the work of one of the most popular composers from the Czech lands in the first third of the 18th century.
Its world premiere recording opens this CD.

Jacob was primarily synonymous with the Benedictine Monastery of Saint Nicholas in Prague’s Old Town yet, thanks to several printed music collections, his fame spread far beyond the country’s borders (prints have been preserved in, for example, Munich and Bologna) and earned him a number of commissions from abroad.

Through this CD, the remarkable work of the stylistically highly original composer has, for the first time in centuries, been given the opportunity to draw the attention it deserves and to be listened to by lovers of Baroque music. The recording is noteworthy for its vivacity and stylistic purity – attributes characteristic of Capella Regia Praha.

The world premiere of Jacob’s Baroque mass opens the CD.
