Supraphon Release Information



Petra Janů has recorded hits galore – and this special compilation features those linked to the world of films and musicals!

The brilliant singer naturally devoted to this genre previously, yet now she is one of the most professional and attractive stars performing international and domestic titles on Czech stages.

The repertoire is exquisite indeed, ranging from George Gershwin classics through Barbra Streisand’s film evergreens, the game of chess of Abba’s Bjorn and Benny to contemporary popular Czech pieces. The music swings in the pre-war manner, enchants with lush strings, is majestic, infectious and melodious. The lyrics penned by Zdeněk Borovec, Eduard Krečmar, Pavel Vrba and L. F. Hagen underline Petra’s exceptional performance.

The themes from Cats, Chess, Fame, as well as the Czech musicals Titanic, The Pied Piper, Hamlet, The Three Musketeers and Golem afforded the opportunity to combine songs with dramatic roles. Magnificent singing, however, is Petra Janů’s trump card: a remarkable voice, technical bravura and expressive nuances make her a truly superb interpreter of this type of repertoire. She masters the great Hollywood melodies and the vigorous, almost rock themes with the perfection of a leading Czech singer.

Petra Janů: The most beautiful themes from films and musicals!
