Rychterová Jana: This is life! - CD

Jana Rychterová sings extraordinarily about ordinary things.
Singing about great love, great passion, great death - please, but smoked, cinnamon cupcake - to introduce yourself as a “candidate for yolk science“? Singing about birds that rid the world of “nonsense, worms and larvae“? And there' s also a drunken song, balancing on the edge of comedy and tragedy. There is a grotesque disappointment, ala flamengo. Desire or memory, arched into an arc of lyrical melody. A touchingly simple, lazily sung consolation in a low voice for the end of the pilgrimage of life. Each song is different, but each “attacked“ (as Jaroslav Ježek said), lyrically and musically. There is poetry, from the occasional peaks of which it freezes - for example, when in a folklore-tuned ballad “a girl swam, cried terribly“. You believe every word of Jana Rychterová and you will also believe her non-phrasal humanism in the adorable paraphrase of the song The World Belongs to Us, which has been misused so many times. Listen and you will be fine. With Jana Rychterová and Lenka Horáčková, whose violin, she has a dialogue inspired and technically sovereign with the singer. Listen carefully, because this is chanson. The song “in something“, as the great singer Jaroslav Jakoubek said. Chanson without pseudo-philosophical nonsense, but full of emotion, helpfulness, self-irony and young wisdom. And best of all: in the voice, in the expression, in the words and in the musical conception, possibilities and valeras can already be heard today, which have not yet been fully discovered, but will certainly be discovered soon. I' m already looking forward to those discoveries.
