1.0 out of 5 stars Freddy Auf Hoher See, August 13, 2005

This review is from: Freddy Auf Hoher See (Audio CD)

This is the most disappointing CD I have ever purchased. I have an old MGM vinyl by the same title "Auf Hoher See" although the song listings differ. Freddy and his back-up singers and musicians sound a lot closer to sailors with melancholy, pride in seamanship, or joy of camraderie on the vinyl. This CD recording is Oktoberfest kitsch in comparison. Would have been nice to listen to samplings before purchase. Do not recommend if you are looking for chanty sound.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sea shanties at their best, January 3, 2001

This review is from: Freddy Auf Hoher See (Audio CD)

This is a vinyl album I have had in my collection since around 1970. I don't know if Freddy is still recording but at the time of this album he posessed a resonant voice particularly suited to the shanties presented here. Sung in German this is an album that I have enjoyed for many years and will now be able to continue to enjoy.For lovers of traditional seafaring songs this is a must.

This CD is an exact copy of the Polydor vinyl that I bought in Germany in 1963. I had nearly worn out that old vinyl and was pleased to get the CD so I can continue to enjoy the songs that introduced me to Frddy Quinn.
