Czech Music No respect for borders from Quakvarteto.
Music experts who follow the endlessly surprising musical output of violin improviser and innovator Iva Bittova would agree that one of her most sophisticated recordings has been her treatment of Bela Bartok's 44 Duets for two violins. Obviously, Bittova, who usually makes music on her own, needed a partner for this album. Her choice was a former colleague Dorothea Kellerova - they both studied violin with the same professor. Only few people were aware that even back then Kellerova had her own band, with the strange name "Quakvarteto", which over the years has grown into 6-member setup. They love to move between musical styles with a witty smile, mixing piano and violin with woodwind, tuba and vocals. They recently released a new album - an adaptation of Children's Songs by Chick Corea.
