Our Take

Step right up, folks, to witness the enigmatic enchantress of Moravian folk music, Iva Bittova, as she weaves her magic through the traditional sounds of her homeland on "Moravian Folk Poetry In Songs." This album is a delightful journey through the quaint villages and rolling hills of Eastern Europe, with Bittova's mesmerizing voice leading the way like a mystical pied piper.

From the lively jig of "Sedkani Hore" to the haunting ballad of "Vdala Ma Mamka," each track on this album is a testament to Bittova's unparalleled skill as a storyteller through music. Her voice, at once ethereal and earthy, carries the weight of centuries of tradition, while her masterful violin playing adds a modern twist to these ancient melodies.

But don't be fooled by the seemingly simple, rustic charm of Moravian folk music - Bittova's arrangements are complex and layered, with unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on your toes. Just when you think you've got her figured out, she throws in a dissonant chord or a sudden change in tempo that will leave you reeling.

So, if you're in the mood for something a little different, a little quirky, and a whole lot of enchanting, do yourself a favour and give Iva Bittova's "Moravian Folk Poetry In Songs" a spin. You won't regret it.
