Published: 18th October 2004
Genre: Vocal - songs
Iva Bittová and the Škampa Quartet present a truly original project: a fresh, personal interpretation of Janáček's collection Moravian Folk Poetry In Songs. Arranger Vlado Godár rewrote the piano accompaniment for string quartet especially for this project, and the result is not only a new tonal palette, but also a new, completely untraditional approach to Janáček's work. The quartet provides a masterful accompaniment to Bittová's singing; some members take their turns as solo singers as well! Bittová's inimitable style gives an attractive, personal touch to these Moravian folk songs, giving her fans and admirers something to truly look forward to. Iva Bittová and Škampa Quartet take a fresh look at Moravian folk songs
