5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant vintage hamonics!, July 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Auf Wiederseh'n (Audio CD)

The Comedy Harmonists were an a close harmony group who recorded in Germany from '28 to the late '30's. They were harassed and force to disband because of Nazi disapproval of their semitic origins as well as their avant-guarde, jazz-oriented material. They sing here in German and English doing everything from folk songs to Tea for Two with clarity, musical grace and lightness. Their comic songs are very deft and witty. If you enjoy close harmonics, you will find this recording a revelation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must' for everyone who speaks German and is interested in Austria, September 11, 2009

the intelligent, funny words, and the beautiful harmonies are especially touching when you realize the fate of the individulas in that talented group of singers.
