They wrote about the performance:

"Martina Bartošová, February 14, 2023

It's been a long time since I've been to such an intimate performance as this one. Where the singer leans in and whispers the lyrics urgently to the audience almost face to face, yet he doesn't embarrass anyone.. he keeps that artistic distance, yet draws the viewer into his world... like a blooming meadow full of sun somewhere high in the mountains, or a rain-soaked city.. or stirs the human mind with themes that touch each of us... love, hatred, loneliness, death..

The recital by the native of Kyjov, actor Jiří Bartona was really very beautiful, touching and humble in its expression. It's almost unbelievable that this actor plays mostly sissies ..his charisma and expression is of course unique...approachable and human.

I confess that Kryl's The Blind Girl and Gott, Hapek's Lorelai from A Day for My Love brought tears to my eyes..

Ach...Dekuji. An evening for film music totally got me..."
