Supraphon Release Information



The complete set of songs from the documentary about the Gott phenomenon

The sad years without Karel Gott are commemorated in a documentary by cameraman Jan Malíř and director Olga Malířová Špátová. Seven hours of already edited source material turned into a two-hour record of all passages of the singer’s life, with special attention paid to his last seasons.

The emotionally powerful visual testimony is, of course, full of music. The idea was therefore born to offer the audience a memoir in the form of a 2CD / 3LP, including the maximum number of songs included in the film. While there are logically a number of hit songs used, research into the singer’s life and career has also included many otherwise important songs, sung in German, or which needfully complement the film’s plot.

The result is a collection of more than 40 plus or minus chronologically arranged tracks in a cover with the graphics of a film poster and a comprehensive booklet filled with historical photographs, news footage from the filming and personal memories of the director Olga Malířová Špátová and the singer’s wife Ivana. It is a valuable contribution to Gott’s discography, which is staggering in the number of titles. A unique contribution in the context of its creation, incomparable to ordinary compilations.

Indeed, this soundtrack is fundamentally important in that it puts the songs in a new context, given the form of a biographical document.
