Johan Schenck is known to history as being an exceptional gamba player, but his opera Bacchus, Ceres en Venus is a historical first: it’s the first Dutch opera ever performed. The Edison Award winning Camerata Trajectina have partly reconstructed the lost music for this opera. They have adapted these pieces for an ensemble that would have originally performed this work in the 1680’s: an ensemble with a dozen instrumentalists, including a harpsichord and a bassoon. They have also adapted several songs for three or four voices for the work. Their reconstruction of this work provides a rare glimpse of this talented composer. --- mdt.co.uk

[Schenck] grew up a polyglot, as both his parents came from Germany. His mother married the thirty-two-year-old wine merchant Wynant Schenck of Cologne in 1660, seven months before Johan’s birth. It was her second marriage. Johan Schenck, however, undoubtedly considered Dutch to be his mother tongue; evidence of this can be found in his vocal works. In 1686 his op. 1 appeared in print. It contained arias that he had written for the first singspiel in Dutch musical history that was actually performed: Bacchus Ceres en Venus on texts from the play Zonder Spys en Wyn kan geen Liefde zyn (Without Food and Wine, Love Cannot Exist) by Govert Bidloo. ---Johannes Boer, July 2005, guentersberg.de
