Unique and engaging. SLAVIC AND EAST EUROPEAN JOURNAL Bohemian Baroque emphasizes the vibrant networks of Baroque music-making, uncovers long-forgotten connections, and forges scholarly dialogue in twenty-first-century Europe.

The musical culture of the Bohemian baroque has finally received the scholarly attention it deserves.
