Supraphon Release Information



A selection of the best from the repertoire of the distinctive singer

She would soon have celebrated her half-birthday (born in January 1934), but sadly she passed away much earlier. A singer by golly, not quite anchored in style, but excellent in every way, and a woman of the elements. The 1993 vinyl reissue of the album has received a sound makeover, new artwork and, in CD form, the addition of six bonus songs.

The core fourteen tracks are dated by the original release between 1968 and 1983. Here you will find Olmerová’s most famous songs with lyrics by Jiří Grossmann or Aida Brumovská. There is also the dark blues repertoire of composer & lyricist Josef Kainar, the light jazz of his friend Luděk Hulan or the famous traditional “Ó, boží den” (O, Happy Day) with lyrics by Zdeněk Borovec. Completing the picture in terms of voice, phrasing and overall extraordinary singer is Piaf’s original “Non, je ne regrette rien”, translated by Ronald Kraus as “Jdou léta, jdou”.

The stylish cover by Karel Haloun and Luděk Kubík hides the most essential from Olmerová’s repertoire of the sixties and seventies. It’s a selection of essential songs for the widest range of listeners, in many cases on first hearing, in others sounding familiar to all those who remember. It is her first ever compilation, released in the year of her final departure, 1993.

This anniversary reissue is a tribute to a lady with a difficult fate and a wonderful talent!
