Radůza: Then in Paradise - CD

The music for the new Czech film Then in Paradise was created by the singer Radůza. The film, based on a book by the writer Josef Urban, is a dramatic story of the legendary climber Josef Smítek and his companions, executed by the Nazis in Terezín. The film deals with freedom in bad times and is not just a story about friendship on a rope during the difficult times of German occupation, but above all about faith and hope for a better future.

Olympic medalist and world slalom champion Vavřinec Hradilek will make his debut in the main role of Josky. Other roles will feature Vica Kerekes, Jan Budař, Miroslav Etzler and others. Lordan Zafranović, Peter Pálka and Dan Krzywoň collaborated on the direction. The music was recorded by Radůza with the Janáček Philharmonic, guitarist Josef Štěpánek, accordionist Petr Samšuk, Austrian soprano Nikola Proksch and wind music by Václav Uhlíř. In the title song, she was accompanied on the violin by Jan Cidlinský and on percussion by David Landštof.
