World premiere of works by Johann Baptist Wanhal (1739-1813), one of many Bohemian artists working in Vienna in the 18th century alongside - and together with - key figures of musical Classicism and early Romanticism.

Performed by the Czech Boys Choir Boni Pueri, Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice and Marek Štryncl, the leader of Musica Florea.

The recording is instilled with efforts to present the original rhythmic pulsation and structure in which, with few exceptions, the accented beats should be played in a different manner from the unaccented beats. This is done through the use of specific bowing and lightening of the off-beats and unaccented syllables. Although the sacred music of Johann Baptist Wanhal can in no way be considered dance music, it still may evoke an inner 'dance-like' manner of performance.
