Compositions
The entries below are works composed by the subject, as the institutional registers catalogue them; later performances and commercial recordings of the same music are listed separately. 20 further compositions are catalogued under Lukáš's name without a date the collections agree on, which is why they are set apart from the dated run rather than placed in it. Concerto grosso — 3 catalogued parts. Duo di Basso for Cello and Double Bass — 3 catalogued parts.

Recordings and discography
The discography assembled here shows how Lukáš's work has been published in sound, not what Lukáš made. 5 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 1992 to 2014. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. 3 issues were published within the subject's lifetime and 2 after 2007, so the greater part of this record is the work of later performers, editors and labels. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none.
