The month of June longs for passion. Even in music we want passion. So real experts need to be called upon to take the floor. Pavel Šporcl has played enough gypsy melodies to make his bow red hot. Rastislav Štúr is full of ferocious Slovak temperament. Listening to the eastern and southern tunes and their intoxicating rhythms, we will be surprised how much they have in common - the yearning for the sun, the night, speed and dizziness. On Republic Square, you must break down the barriers and enter Smetana Hall wearing a bolero. Does anything else go better with Bolero?
