Kubišová, Marta: Depeše - LP

Excellent song content, new sound remastering, photographs by Otto Dlabola and graphics by Luďek Kubík make this almost twenty-item CD a tribute to the great singer and a reminder of a turning point thirty years ago. The perfect trap for 2019 too!

In addition to the current offer of variously focused and variously comprehensive selections, this new, in a well-thought-out size of one CD and LP, successfully summarizes a view of the singer' s extraordinary artistic work.
From the singular excellence of the sixties, through excerpts from the album Songs and Ballads and the best recordings from the period after 1989, you will listen to this year' s newly recorded and sung Prayer for Marta.
The songs - of course with the dedication of the singer - were chosen by pianist, composer and bandleader Petr Malásek, a long-time collaborator and expert on her repertoire. He is also behind this year' s studio version of Prayer, arranged majestically arranged with a large orchestra and re-sung after more than fifty years by a mature lady who was not pampered by fate.
The message, if you want a trap, of this selection album is about the fundamental artistic and human uniqueness of Marta Kubišová, supported by a number of songs with social overlap and importance. Although the sometimes relentless twists and turns of her life have taken her almost twenty years of a great career, her significance for Czech / Slovak popular music is undoubted - and here you will clearly hear why again.
