The 1720s were the period of great rise of Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679–1745), which is evidenced by the number of high-quality compositions created for various occasions. While for many of these works we know well the circumstances of their creation and release, this recording captures a pair of compositions about which we have little information today. Missa Charitatis, ZWV 10, belongs to the works whose creation falls into the period of Zelenka's extraordinary creative boom in the 1720s and early 1730s. At that time, Zelenka increasingly performed the duties of court bandleader for the ill Johann David Heinichen (1683–1729). Missa Charitatis was probably written in 1727 and its name refers to God's love and mercy.
