Supraphon Release Information



On his new studio album, Karel Gott turns to his “heart” music from the time when swing orchestras were the king of the stage. In an era of mostly computer music, you get a fair dose of singing and music made in Prague’s Radio Studio A, with lyrics exactly to the singer’s taste, with a superb “Bigband Českého Rozhlasu” (Czech Radio Big Band) led by Vaclav Kozel and guest appearances by dozens of real strings.

Among the songs from the repertoire of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Vinton or Louis Armstrong, Jiří Suchý’s “Blues pro tebe” (Blues for You) deservedly made its way in, “Dívka v modrém” (The Girl in Blue) by Emanuel Nováček or “Tvůj krok zní” (Your Step Sounds) by Alfons Jindra, i.e. samples of hit Czech melodies from the swing and post-swing era.

Gott presents himself in a newly arranged repertoire of exceptional quality, tested by time and the interpretations of singers in a similarly prominent position. “Chraň bůh” (That’s Life), “Svět je báječnej kout” (What a Wonderful World), “Každý jednou velkou lásku potká” (Everybody Loves Somebody), “Bláznem zdámse” (Crazy), “Ty jsi můj zvláštní anděl” (You Are My Special Angel), “Dobré roky to jsou” (It Was A Very Good Year) or “Tak půjdem spát” (As Time Goes By) bring modern times of big orchestras, big voices, big melodies and big themes to life: love is one of the most important among them.

Famous evergreens in a perfect package!
