German folksongs newly arranged

After releasing its Echo-prizewinning CD with contemporary vocal compositions as well as its fascinating CD “Herztöne” (Heartbeats) – an absolute surprise success, vocal sextet Singer Pur now presents its newest work: SOS – Save Our Songs! The recording approaches German folksongs in a completely unconventional manner – arrangements of old songs by modern composers in very different styles. These arrangements run the gamut from conservatively modern to jazzy-popular, often with a humorous approach and joyfully making use the virtuosity that Singer Pur is so capable of – but they always maintain high artistic standards. No parodies, but new interpretations that demonstrate a true love and appreciation for the touching, always current folksong texts and melodies.
