The program Sentirete una canzonetta opens for listeners the intimate world of 17th-century Italy—a time when music freed itself from strict polyphony and began to tell human stories with unprecedented emotional depth. Soprano Hana Blažíková and theorbo player Jan Krejča journey to the very roots of the Baroque style, where every word carries weight and every ornament has its meaning.

In songs and instrumental works by Kapsperger, Monteverdi, Strozzi, Ferrari, and Merula, passion, melancholy, playfulness, and spiritual contemplation intertwine—here, music is not decoration but the language of the heart. With her crystal-clear vocal line, Blažíková captures the subtle nuances of the text, from quiet supplication to dramatic gesture, while Krejča’s theorbo creates a space in which melodies can unfold and breathe naturally.

Within the setting of Kunín Castle, this concert becomes an intimate encounter with music that needs neither large forces nor effects: a voice, strings, and truthful expression are enough. This performance is a return to music as a personal statement—an art that touches both human fragility and inner strength.
