Lola Novaković - Stari Tužni Tango FLAC download

The same year when Lola Novaković recorded impressive Spanish songbook EP, she also did this interesting single with two songs associated with great Italian singer Milva. Where on Spanish EP she was backed by seriously cinematic orchestra of Ferdo Pomykalo, here she got herself equally talented Nikica Kalogjera who surrounds her with swirling strings that sound like foreboding thunder on a horizon. Because originals themselves were bombastic ad theatrical, music here is equally dramatic but Novaković is perfectly at home with it and matches Italian singer perfectly and I must say fearlessly, considering we are talking about San Remo classics. I heard many other Ex Yu singers attempting same feat and failing, but Novaković really nails it here.
