The best of her Christmas concert tours

Lucie Bílá’s special pre-Christmas run of shows has been one of the highlights of the year for a decade. The singer and her band with Petr Malásek dispense songful joy with a touch of Advent pauses, Christmas Eve grandeur and the exuberance of carols. Proven most successful items from previous seasons were part of the concert in Prague’s Doupě club two years ago. Lucie Bílá in great singing form, supported by guest Jan Toužimský and accompanied by excellent musicians and choral singers, offered almost two dozen previously proven songs. The CD contains seventeen of them...

In a perfectly thought-out concert logic and exceptional musical quality, you will hear excerpts from all previous Christmas albums. From the world-famous American standards such as “Rolničky” (Jingle Bells), “Lední šou” (Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!), or Šťastné svátky v ten den (Happy Holidays on that Day) through the modern Czech classics Purpura” or the traditional “Slyš chór” (Amazing Grace) to songs with a temple or classical flavour, such as “Tichá noc” (Silent Night / Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht), Panis angelicus or Ave Maria. The candy is “Desatero” (Ten Commandments), undoubtedly the cult song Hallelujah from the repertoire of Leonard Cohen.

A vocally brilliant, arranged, excellently recorded Christmas delight that only Lucie Bílá and her excellent collaborators can provide.
