Christmas songs in new and traditional settings
he vocal sextet Singer Pur already presented their interpretation
of German folksongs on an ECHO-winning
CD titled “SOS – Save Our Songs”. It was a great
success, now followed by a Christmas album of a very
special kind. While some arrangements are decidedly
traditional, some were modified by contemporary arrangers
and now achieve a unique Singer Pur colouring.
This is not an intellectual, ironic programme, but
instead a simple, very emotional album that therefore
is a modern contribution to the great German traditional
festival and confirms the notion that Christmas
still would not be the same without Christmas carols
which do not sacrifice the holiday to trashy seasonal
consumer dreams.
