As Christmas draws near, the familiar melodies of traditional holiday songs start to fill the air. So, for this week’s Sunday Music Show, we are also taking the occasion to play you some classic Czech pieces that have become an inseparable part of the season in Czechia.

The most popular pieces include – among many others – “Midnight Mass” (Půlnoční) by Václav Neckář and Umakart, “Promises Must Be Kept at Christmas” (Sliby se maj plnit o Vánocích) by Janek Ledecký, and “It’s the Holidays” (Jsou svátky) by Karel Gott.
