Since 2005 I have been collaborating regularly with Collegium 1704 as a founding member of the ensemble Collegium Vocale 1704. We have presented ourself at the festivals Prague Spring, Dresdner Festspiele, Festival de La Chaise Dieu, Festival de Sablé, Festival d’Ambronay, Oude Muziek Utrecht, MA Brugge, BOZAR in Brussels, Wien Konzerthaus, Wratislavia Cantans, Salzburger Festspiele and elsewhere. I took part in many highly recognized recordings especially with music of Jan Dismas Zelenka, J. S. Bach’s Mass in B minor; as well as in radio (France Musique, Radio Klara, Czech Radio) and TV recordings (Mezzo, Arte or Czech Television).

David Stancliffe in earlymusicreview.com wrote: "...This is great music-making, and the ease with which the sensible tempi changes are managed without any overt conducting as well as the cohesion and coherence of the style that make the texts the focus of the performances sets a new benchmark in the way we are learning to approach Bach Cantatas."

The Guardian wrote: "...some operatic voices overstate or over-gloss the raw spirit, but soprano Martina Jankova and baritone Tomáš Král have clear, candid voices with a gentle touch from pianist Ivo Kahánek."

American Record Guide - March / April 2016 wrote: "...Janáček's music is a conversation...you never know where a piece is going. Soprano Matina Janková and baritone Tomáš Král fully communicate this freshness and sense of surprise. They are earthy and bold, never mannered or fussy, full of feeling but not coarse. Král has a haunting melancholy in songs like "Carnation" and "Love" ... Supraphon's production is first-class, with authoritative notes, full texts, and well-produced photographs. Not to be missed."

David Nelson wrote: "...what could become Zelenka’s greatest hit if ever played on the radio, the motet Chvalte Boha silného, ZWV165, sung by Tomáš Král."
