Die Singphoniker - German Folksongs

Their repertoire ranges from Gregorian chant to contemporary music – all the way to easy listening. After 25 years in the limelight, the six-voice vocal ensemble can look back on over 1000 concerts throughout the world. For the first time, however, the Singphoniker are releasing a CD with German folksongs. Their program consists of works by Silcher, Brahms and Reger, each of whom had a completely different approach to handling old tunes. Their common goal, however, was a desire to reacquaint their contemporar-ies with the vast treasures in the folk repertoire. The Singphoniker’s CD will contribute to making known as well as unknown folksongs – which are not very at-home in the concert hall – resound again in the private environment: singing or humming along is expressly desired! 8444 CD 15.98
