Kožená Magdalena - Cole Porter

Kožená, Magdalena, Ondřej Havelka & His Melody Makers

BRF 001-2

Melody Makers the excursion into the light muse.
She has performed at the New York Metropolitan Opera and sings live 40 to 50 times a year. Recently, Magdalena Kožená has also thrown in a few performances with a completely different repertoire. In London, for example, in Hamburg and in her adopted home of Berlin, the 44-year-old performed songs by Cole Porter.
Now an album has emerged from this infidelity: 15 songs by Porter, some of which belong to the evergreens. Kožená is accompanied by Ondřej Havelka & His Melody Makers, the leading swing band in the Czech Republic. The versatile entertainer Havelka strives for authenticity, including the original instruments of his fellow players.
Magdalena Kožená writes in the CD booklet that she learned to love the songs of Cole Porter and American music of the interwar period when she was still a student. But she hesitated for a long time to venture into the world of light muse. This was only achieved with Ondřej Havelka, among others.
