Versatile as ever

Since 1968 I have been following the career of Karel Gott and kept thinking that I would have to know this singer actually. But once again he surprised me with a whole new color in the wide range of his work: With a CD that includes duets mostly. Few of the international show sizes produced duet plates, here in Germany that is probably a novelty !?

That his CD's come like a concert, probably always been a concern of the singer: variety and drama are important aspects and the play even when "life" an important role. And that is doing really good music and sing is still a matter of course at Karel. Especially with the duets with Hartmut Engler and Semino Rossi can feel the exuberant joy of music and skill of the protagonists. I liked above all the evocative songs with Marian Gold, Nana Mouskouri, Xavier Naidoo, Wenche Myhre and Deborah Sasson.

I think it is wise in the 50th year of his singing career no longer tenors charisma, but now more the beauty of the voice in the foreground and understands Karel Gott quite excellent.
