This book represents a crucial step towards the integration of the Czech language into the international circuit of vocal works. The author reveals a whole arsenal of phonetic secrets, carefully explained and reflected by a comprehensive listing of the Czech vocal repertoire. In fact this is the structure of the book, divided into two main parts, each of them indispensable not only to singers, voice teachers or choral coaches, but also to collaborative pianists, opera conductors and choral conductors. In this book, all of them will find a very organized approach of the diction, rhythmic values, pronunciation rules and exception to pronunciation rules. The first part is a phonetic image of Czech language, happily impregnated with speaking and singing methods, exercises and comparisons. Nothing is left aside concerning vowels, consonants, double consonants, assimilation, stress and length and even a distinction between Moravian - the dialect and Slovac - the language. In the second part there is a very complete listing of vocal Czech repertoire aimed to address to every voice type and level. Smetana, Dvorak, Janecek, Martinu and Hass are translated in not only idiomatic and word for word translations but also in terms of timings and international phonetics. The book must be perceived as an effective handbook of vital strategies for accurate and natural performing when singing in Czech.
