A remarkable symbiosis: beautiful verses like tender songs

A well-known songwriter prepared a special gift for us and himself for the 1970s. Several years of preparation brought the consent of the heirs of the Nobel Prize winner for literature, Jaroslav Seifert, to set 17 poems to music and to find the most suitable melodies. Acoustic guitarist Paleček embarked on a path of useful partial electrification, he also added guests to keyboards, accordion, violin, trumpet, flute, and even a string trio. Sensitively used instruments were recorded in arrangements by Pavel Fořt, a great guitarist from Flamengo, Labyrinth or the band of Karel Gott. At the beginning, Žižkov's common origin was the nation's admired poet Seifert and the experienced solo singer, once famous in a duo with Michael Janík. The verses, according to a legend created with poetic silent singing, proved to be an ideal starting point for setting to music. Paleček selected poems, sometimes in collections named as Songs, with taste and talent for estimating the resulting musical form. Here you will find familiar simple topics from readings, famous verses and lesser-known ones. It is a listener's strong ensemble of songs, usually between two and three minutes, sung with the appropriate humility and desire to celebrate Seifert. We succeeded: a strong album was recorded, not afraid of the tenderness of letters and tones.
