Lukas

Deum Laudamus Lukas

Choir music has been a tradition in the Czech Republic since the nineteenth century, and was a devotion of nearly every important Czech composer. This new release from the Charles University Choir in Prague presents compositions from two important creators of the twentieth century: Petr Eben and Zdenek Lukás. The album is being released in celebration of the 70-year anniversary of choir and was recorded in the stunning acoustics of several churches in Prague. The Charles University Choir in Prague is an eminent Czech nonprofessional choir ensemble composed primarily of students, graduates, and employees of the Charles University and other Prague universities and colleges. It was founded in 1948, and thus is the oldest Czech academic choir.
