Fined tuned by choirmaster Josef Pancik, the 18
voices of the Prague Chamber Choir reveal the mysteries of Czech choral music
dating from the 16th to the 20th century. This tradition, created by such
important composers as Leoš Janáček and Josef Bohuslav Foerster, is brought to
life in sacred strains and images of Eastern Europe. On the profoundly Czech
programme the genius of French composer Charles Gounod stands out, closing the
Macao debut of this choir, founded in 1990, with a note of panache.
Duration: approximately 1 hour 10 minutes, no
interval
