The conjunction con grazia means gracefully in music, and with grace and elegance in common language. Violinist František Novotný and pianist Igor Ardašev interpret small compositions by famous and lesser-known composers with ease, refinement and grace.

Some of them are played with dazzling virtuosity, others with a touch of dreaminess and tranquility. It's up to the listener to prefer. However, they are all worth listening to!
