- Judas Iscariot, a new premiere of Frantisek Xaver Brixi's oratorio for Good Friday in Holy Week.
- An original composition of a Czech master of the 18th century, written on an original text by an unknown author.
- In the convention of Baroque poetry, three allegorical figures-Justice (bass), Death (alto) and Hope (Soprano) speak to the central character, Judas (tenor).
- This Oratorio is a showcase for Brixi's mastery of counterpoint.
- The soloists and Musica Bohemica, conducted by Jaroslav Krcek have prepared a rare artistic experience for their listeners.
