　　A haunting collection of songs by Czech composers such as Dvorák, Janácek, Martin?, Schulhoff and Eben, all deeply rooted in the rich Czech folk song tradition.
　　Like Magdalena explains in the press/booklet text about the songs on the album:
　　“They are just the sort a mother would sing to her baby. My mother is not a professional singer, but she loved to sing and knew a lot of songs! There is a particular tradition of singing to children in our country, much stronger, I would say, than one sees any more in the West. It was really important that in each family these songs would be handed down, taught to the children.”
　　Kozená’s musical partners on the album include her long-standing recital partner Malcolm Martineau, and soprano Dorothea Röschmann, who joins her in Dvorák’s Moravian duets.
　　Magdalena Kozená’s most personal album so far, exploring the richness of her cultural background and her own musical memories.
