Berliner Barock Solisten - Zelenka, Telemann

The music sounds like a sonic allegory on transience and futility, just like the elapsing of time or the dwindling vitality. The festive baroque demonstrates a delicate sensorium for the downsides of earthly pleasures. Vanitas vanitatum! Vanity of vanities; all is vanity! - Jan Dismas Zelenka
