About

Jan Dismas Zelenka, court composer of August Elector of Saxony in Dresden, is steadily regaining his deserved reputation.In thi snew recording for Pan Classics, the accomplished young British countertenor Alex Potter succeeds in displaying a wide emotional range in selected works for alto solo: he dazzles with astounding virtuosity in the motet 'Barbara, dira effera' and soars in tender arcs of tension in his performance of the 'Christe eleison' from a late unfinished mass. He is accompanied with consummate sensitivity by the Capriccio Barockorchester from Basel who also round off this recording with several of Zelenka’s instrumental works. Alex Potter was a choirboy at Southwark Cathedral in London and subsequently Choral Scholar at New College, Oxford, before continuing his studies in ancient music with Gerd Türk and Evelyn Tubb at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. He now works regularly with conductors such as Philippe Herreweghe, Frieder Bernius and Roland Wilson.
