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.
