Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Good!.......2007-02-10

Like a few other reviewers on here, I wanted to hear some traditional German music that wasn't A) military marches or B) Beer songs. I guess the only things Germans are known for is beer and war. Well, this is quite a breath of fresh air. Traditional German folk songs, no beer polkas. I find this cd very relaxing, and it reminds me quite a bit of Estampie, another fine German band who focus on Renaissance German melodies, which I would also recommend listening to. My only gripe is the stop/start that's in almost every song. You think the song is over, but no, it starts again and again. It wouldn't be so bad, but they do it in almost every song, and after awhile it starts to make the songs all sound the same. Doesn't detract too much from the music, though, it's still quite enjoyable.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful Harmony.......2006-08-16

The voices on this CD blend really well. Not harsh like other samples of German Folk Music I had heard. Very soothing music and I love the flute accompaniment.

3 out of 5 stars folk music for the weak.......2006-08-10

I have always wanted to hear some german folk music that wasn't beer drinking music, so I decided to get this cd. The singing is done with good harmony and the music itself is also good. My problem with the songs is that they all start to sound the same and the music is usually slow, which is okay for some of the songs but not most of them. Also I started to get tired with the singing after a while. It would have been better if some of the songs had a faster pace to them like a lot of other european folk music. I would say that this is a good cd for any one who likes folk music, especially german folk music. Afterall the other reviewers seemed to have liked it a lot, while I myself thought that it was just all right.

5 out of 5 stars Simply lovely!.......2006-05-18

This is the most beautiful collection of German folksongs I have come across. They are truly folk songs, not Bier Fest songs. They remind me of my dear Oma and the songs she used to sing for me. I highly recommend this cd.
