Customer Reviews:

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 The Man Is Passionate.......2003-07-03

          I had the pleasure once upon a time to meet this artist. And in the brief few moments I was able to talk with him I could tell he was an extremely passionate being--he is one of the few artists I know who has been able to put those emotions into music. I was thrilled to hear him speak of the creative process that went into his music--especially in the track "Tree", I believe it is. You can see the tree blowing and bending in the breeze. Mr. Seydler, thank you for your music. It has brought great joy to my life as well as my friends. Thank you.

          I am a practicing hypnotherapist and use tracks 1,2,5 and 8 with my clients. They love it! When not using this CD for work, it's great just to mellow out with. My mom has her own copy and love it,too! Sorry, I'm not a music expert, so I can't talk to you about the rhythm or chords or use any technical terms. I just know what I like and this CD is great! I own many New Age tapes. What makes this one unique for me, is the variety. It's like you're getting about a dozen different moods in one CD.
