One of the UK's most popular and respected all-male quartets, known for their humor and pure sound, pays a well-earned tribute to The Comedian Harmonists, a funny, eclectic and talented 6-man group who were popular on the radio and in German cabarets from 1927 until forced to disband by Nazi anti-Semitism. Mostly lightly accompanied by piano, 'On the Tracks Of' has 14 authentic, spirited tunes, most of them originally performed by the CH, like 'Meine Kleiner, Gruner Kaktus,' 'Sandmannchen,' 'The Way You Look Tonight/A Fine Romance,' the silly 'Voila Les Gars De La Marine,' the poignant 'Der Lindenbaum,' Duke Ellington's 'In My Solitude,' the waltz parody 'G'schichten Aus Dem Wienerwald,' the delightful yodel and whistle-fest 'Medley from Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs: Heigh-Ho/Whistle While You Work/The Dwarfs' Yodel Song (The Silly Song)' and the appropriate last cut, 'Auf Wiederseh'n!'. We love the droll, 'Roaring 20's' sound of the Comedian Harmonists, and Cantabile's take on them is as good as any we've heard. Classic, cabaret stuff that tugs at your heartstrings, makes you laugh and makes you want to dance! |
