Synopsis

Album Details

Formed in Germany in 1927 Through an Ad Placed in a German Newspaper Seeking "Beautiful Sounding Voices...not Over the Age of 25..for Outstanding New Ensemble". The Comedian Harmonists Became a Worldwide Sensation in the Late 1920?s and 30?s. Finally Disbanding Due to Nazi Pressure on all Things Jewish, They Fled Germany Only to Regroup in Vienna as the Comedy Harmonists. This Digitally Remastered Two CD Set Captures Both Permutations of this Great but Overlooked Group and Includes Two Very Recognizable Tunes from Walt Disney?s "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", Recorded at Abbey Road!

CD Reviews

QUITE A DISCOVERY

S. Roberto Barocio Delgado | MEXICO, D.F. Mexico | 11/20/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"It is difficult to understand why these artists, the 'Comedian Harmonists', have remained so forgotten. Such a clear forerunners of madrigal groups dealing in popular music (King's Singers, Swingle Singers, Manhattan Transfer, etc.) this sextet adds to their technical domain the charms of the European 1930's song."
