The title of the CD is very simple ? just like the singing of Vlasta Grycov?. How does this legend of Moravian folklore attract her listeners? Mainly thanks to her affectionate way of singing. It evokes the goodness we all carry within because it sounds so truthful and unglamorous. We feel it comes out of the depths of our heart.
The singer Vlasta Grycov? is part of the most significant folk singers in Moravia and has had a rich career; she has not only performed with the famous Hradi?tan of Jaroslav Stanek, the dulcimer band Ol?ava from Uhersk? Brod, but she has also cooperated with the Brno Radio Orchestra of Folk Instruments which has been going on until today.
This CD by the Vlasta Grycov? Dulcimer Band is supposed to be a celebration of the singer?s anniversary and an acknowledgement for years of musical life spent together. The band was founded in 1995 as children?s band called Huslicky. In 2004, the band released, together with Vlasta Grycov? and the female and male choir from Str?n?, the CD called Pod Javorin?. Now the band has decided while celebrating this new album to acquire a new name ? Vlasta Grycov? Dulcimer Band. Vlasta Grycov? is a true singer legend; we know her mainly as a distinctive, inimitable interpreter of ballads and love songs from the Uhersk? Brod, Hradi?te, Kopanice and mainly Str?n? region. Vlasta Grycov? records are one of those most refined songs there are in folk song.
The young Vlasta Grycov? Dulcimer Band from Str?n? is led by her daughter, the bandleader Anna Prikrylov? and, if it wasn?t for the dulcimer player Jakub Popelka, it would be a purely female dulcimer band. In some tracks the band is completed with guests such as Josef Mucka (viola), Jana Vintrov? (violoncello), Pavel Popelka (bagpipes), Marcela Trtkov? (dulcimer) , Jir? Chovanec (dulcimer) and Radek Mahdal (small drum).
The female choir Net?ta can be heard significantly in the record; their voices are recorded in five songs. Some of the female members also have solos, just like Vlasta Grycov?. In three songs there are also male voices which belong to Pavel Popelka, Lubom?r M?lek and Daniel Bru?t?k. The album was recorded in Uhersk? Brod under the supervision of Tom?? Kom?rek.
