Le Roi David is one of the masterpieces by the Swiss composer Arthur Honegger, written in 1921. It represents a significant milestone in his musical development. This oratorio is based on the biblical figure of King David from the Old Testament. Le Roi David is a notable work not only for its musical qualities but also for its ability to create an emotional and dramatic space in which the biblical story comes alive as an intense experience for the audience.

After Robert Schumann's Manfred Overture, which has already established itself as an independent orchestral work to such an extent that its literary basis (Lord Byron) has almost been forgotten, we hear a very current premiere. The young German composer Clemens K. Thomas says of his work: "'Girls und Panzer' is not a piece about war, but about its consumability in Central Europe." It is about "politics as a balancing act full of compromises and contradictions." This is followed by Composer in Focus Matthew Hindson with "Maralinga", which also has political references: that was the name of a British nuclear test site in Australia in the 1950s. And finally, Arthur Honegger provides a conciliatory conclusion with his fourth symphony "Basler Freuden", which was written shortly after the end of the Second World War.

In the history of the Czech Philharmonic, few compositions have left as deep a mark as Honegger’s oratorio Joan of Arc at the Stake. In 1970, Ivan Medek, then the orchestra’s dramaturge, programmed the oratorio to commemorate Jan Palach’s self-immolation. This difficult but powerful work will be led by Lukáš Vasilek, Artistic Director of the Prague Philharmonic Choir.

But the young bird's wings break when he sets foot on a battlefield for the first time in his life and hears the ghostly voices of the fallen. He begins to understand what the reality of war really means.

Even "birdsong and an orange sunrise" can be found in his "Siegfried Idyll," explained Richard Wagner. The work for chamber orchestra was a birthday surprise for his wife Cosima and was first performed in 1870 in the stairwell of their home in Tribschen near Lucerne. The title alludes to their son Siegfried, but Wagner primarily quotes from the musical drama of the same name in his four-part opera "The Ring of the Nibelung."
