In her most personal album to date, acclaimed recitalist and opera singer Magdalena Kozená offers a collection of songs she has known since childhood and that formed some of her earliest musical influences.
The CD title, though also the title of a song, means much more to Kozená. These are indeed the songs her mother taught her as a child in keeping the traditions of Czech and Moravian folk poetry and song alive.
The recital features a haunting collection of songs by Dvorák, Janácek, Martinu, Schulhoff, Eben, and others. Kozená is joined by her long-time recital partner Malcolm Martineau and soprano Dorothea Röschmann (who joins for Dvorák’s "Moravian" duets). From the Label
