5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent album, in an excellent tradition., August 28, 2000
This review is from: Volker Hort Die Signale (Audio CD)
'Songs of the European Workers' Movement' is an excellent collection of workers' songs from European Union countries. Each song is individual, being performed by singers and musicians from its country of origin. The styles vary from the solo ballad of France's 'Les Temps des Cerises' to the brass band and choir of Ireland's 'Watchword of Labour'. 'L'Internationale' features in its full French version and in German as 'Die Internationale'. The rendition of all these songs is a delightful contrast to the militaristic 'workers' songs' characteristic of the former Soviet Bloc.
