Overview:

Shortly before his death, bassist Eduard Haken (1910–1996) recorded Antonín Dvořák's "Biblical Songs" with the organ at St. James' Church. Despite his advanced age, he was in top vocal form. The music program entitled Skrýše a skála (Hiding Place and Rock) – enriched with quotations from the Bible interpreted by Marek Eben and Radovan Lukavský – was then realized in a sublime artistic form on Czech Television by director František Filip (1930–2021).
