What This Comedian

There is so much to tell about the Comedian Harmonists and their recordings – where to start? Most people will know some of their hits. In 1975 a 4 hours documentary about the Comedian Harmonists was broadcast in German TV. Public demand then led to the reissue of their work on 3 double LPs. This second double LP emphasises the rich variety of their arrangements and vocal artistry: some of their hits, classical compositions, traditional "Volkslieder" in high German or dialect, 2 Italian songs, songs from their film appearances, one of them in French, an adaptation of "Night and Day" written by Cole Porter. If you are an arranger or a singer in a choir or band, you really have a lot to study here.
