Editorial Reviews

German folk songs tell the tales and stories of all walks of life. Singing as a means of expressing oneself is as common throughout German culture as beer!

The symbol of the Blue Flower (Die Blaue Blume) represents the mystical search often found in German folk songs. It is a symbol of the longing for the beyond. This selection of traditional German folk songs is sung in the spirit of community.

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.

I was looking for something that was not a German brass band or accordion music from Oktoberfest. Not that I don't like that kind of music but I already have recordings of that festive, oom-pa-pa kind. I wanted something different but folksy. I found Die Blaue Blume and listened to some of the samples. It intrigued me so I bought it. I fell in love. This is like listening to Christmas carols or old Church hymns. I sounds like something that you would sing with your family and friends around a camp fire or in the evening around the piano in your living room. The songs are accompanied by guitar, violin, flute, and other instruments that give it a down home feel. I find it very relaxing to listen to.

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.
