Václav Luks is co-curator of this year's FEL!X original sound festival, which is focusing on the »Bohemian cultural area« this year.

Luks wants to appeal to today's audience by respecting the rules and intentions of composers of earlier times and thus making Baroque works understandable. Luks talks about his 20-year relationship with his ensembles Collegium 1704 and Collegium Vocale 1704, the difference between Johann Sebastian Bach and Jan Disma Zelenka, other important composers of the »Bohemian cultural area« and explains to host Katherina Knees whether, in his view, there is such a thing as a Bohemian musical style.
