Željko Kovačević, sopran saksofon / soprano saxophone | Igor Savin, glasovir / piano
Željko Kovačević and Igor Savin have recognised the appeal and complexity of melodic expression in Croatian folk songs, which were intended for liturgical celebration in the liturgical year. They have tried to combine old and new, sacral and profane, simple and complex. With their specific virtuosity they have certainly created an atmosphere that can be easily recognised and appreciated by ardent fans of that musical expression regardless of nationality, religion, view of life or race. The mild sound of saxophone, which brings the central theme, and brilliant burst of tones around it attract music lovers who are inclined towards the music of calm, relaxing and somewhat melancholic character.

Sine Božji
Gospode primi
Bog ni svog sina ne poštedje
O, srce ljubavi rani te
Čuj, Stvoritelju milostiv
Zdravo tijelo
Pjevaj hvale, Magdaleno
Uskrsnu Isus doista
Slava Bogu
Vječna je ljubav njegova
Na gozbu Kralja jaganjca
