Christmas Concert
«It was a concert which evokes noble sentiments, gentle titrations of a heart, tears in women's and men's eyes. That general feeling of Christmas-New Year's atmosphere was brought by a clear lyric soprano of our diva Lidija Horvat Dunjko who, with an astounding skill, operates her voice and nuances feelings in complex compositions and simple Christmas carols alike.»
