5 out of 5 stars Moravian songs, via Janacek, Godar, Bittova and Skampa.......2006-05-09

This is a unique recording of Janacek's transcriptions of Moravian folk songs. Originally for piano and voice, they have been transcribed by Slovak composer Vladimir Godar for string quartet and (occasionally) three-voice male chorus. Here they are performed by renowned Czech singer and violinist Iva Bittova, accompanied by the Skampa Quartet and chorus. The effect is not so much of classical liede, but of authentic eastern European "popular" songs - the sonority of the string quartet adds to this in no small part. Janacek would be proud.

2 out of 5 stars Skampa Quartet is great - the singer... yikes.......2005-07-28

I honestly did not know what I was getting myself into when I bought this CD. I love Janacek, I love folk songs... how could I go wrong? Iva Bittova! I was concerned that she would have a 50yr old woobly voice, but instead what exists is a thin VERY nasal tone... perhaps she should be singing traditional Bulgarian music! The voice is expressive, just ugly.
The recording quality is not very good, either. On many of the tracks, Iva seems to be muffled and in the background of the recording.
Really - dont waste your time and money, unless you really would just like to have a recording of over 50 Janacek songs.

          5 out of 5 stars as light as a dove, as proufound as eyes........2002-06-19

          Czesch composer Leos Jancek devoted a lot of his time and ink on folk songs. This album, "Moravian Folk Poetry In Songs" is a little bit of his work (about 300 songs). Singers Eva Struplová and Stanislav Predota took the right fair voice to execute those both profound and so light songs, accompanied by Adam Skoumal at the piano.
          Although the piano is as flighty as a birdwings, ingeniously simple, we can feel in thoses modal melodies an underlying gravity which is like the seriousness of a child when he listen to his grand-father. Some of the songs are really joyfull, some others a little bit melancholic, others slightly anxious or sad. While listening to this album, we are travelling through these ageless lights and true emotions of every folk in every day.
