Not a Very Good Example of Oktoberfest Music

"As manager of "The Oktoberfest Webring," I am always on the lookout for good sources of Oktoberfest music. Unfortunately, this CD is not one of them. The sound quality and the music itself are too uneven in quality. Some numbers are performed by an Oktoberfest band, while others are performed by a full orchestra. Still others are performed by a solo voice accompanied by a small ensemble. This CD would be much better entitled, "A Potpourri of German Music." Only when viewed in that light does it provide a tolerably pleasant listening experience."
Hardly an Oktoberfest Favorite

"The CD is a cheap make with a lousy orchestra, not at all symbolic of a Beer tent "Kapelle"
Knowing Oktoberfest in person, I can say, except for a few songs, none of them are played in a beer hall at the Oktoberfest in Munich.
There is at least one or more new "Wies'n Hits" every year and none are on this CD.
Don't waste your money buying this crap. It goes into the trash immediately."
