Leoš Janáček: Blow the Wind, Moravian Folk Poetry in Songs (selection by P. Fischer), Ide Kračuň, Ide, Čekám te, tunes of speech

The program of this trio, spanning a wide range of genres, fully fulfills the theme of metamorphoses, as all three artists use folk songs from several European regions in their unique author's handwriting. In the case of the adaptations of Janáček's Moravian folk poetry in songs, it is even a double transformation, as the first one was carried out by a brilliant Moravian composer who was also an important folklorist when processing the results of his field research.
