For the first time, the PRAŽÁKs have accepted the release of one of their innumerable official concerts - the 2,000th, as recorded on 1 February 2000 with a simple 'artificial head', without the slightest (impossible) retake. On the programme: two Mozart scores, often on the lists of works that music lovers would take with them to live on their 'desert island', the quintessence of a musical culture emanating from... Vienna.
