During the Prague Spring, she recorded over 200 SP records and one LP, Songy a Balady (1969), which was immediately banned from stores. In 1970, the government falsely accused her of making pornographic photographs leading to a ban from performing in Czechoslovakia until 1989. She was a signatory of Charter 77 proclamation. Her first LPs after the Velvet revolution in 1989 were a re-issue of Songy a Balady and a compilation of old songs, titled Lampa.

This CD is a recital with piano played by Petr Malasek in the Ungelt theatre in Prague.
