The project entitled Čierna zem (Black Soil) attempts to present Janáček’s work and the paradigm from which it originates, i.e. folklore, to the broadest possible audience. It strives to show them that folklore is not dead and that Janáček deserves more than just school theatre visits and music lessons.
The reasons why I have become addicted to Janáček are simple and emotional. Like nobody else before or since, Janáček is capable of authentically capturing and heightening the emotions of folk music, so much so that they are almost tangible. The poetry of his composition warms and replenishes the soul. This album features songs that tell stories about people, stories that are still alive and talking to the listeners. And I had the chance to tell them.
