Worst CD I ever bought !

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Except for the arrangement of the first tune, this CD doesn't sound German at all. It would best be described as "elevator music" as heard in the background in many stores and shopping malls in the U.S. On top of that, it consists of a single track of 40 minutes in length. If you were hoping to hear old German folk tunes, this is not the CD to purchase."

"I don't know what the prior reviewer means, but this DEFINETELY *IS* German music! This sounds like a recording from the mid 40's or 50's and is in wide, CLEAR HIGH FIDELITY STEREO! The remastering of this is EXTREMELY WELL done, somebody cared to preserve this one... Yes, it IS all one track with a break at the first twenty minutes (flipped the record?) and continues another +/- 20 minutes... It is one *composition*, with melodies consisting a nonstop arrangement with nice transitions to each melody... Someone arranged these classics and put them together in this ORIGINAL recording. Has a great traditional old sound you will LOVE and it will bring back memories. This is a FULL orchestration compilation with leading strings. Many recognizable numbers tastefully arranged! Definately a four star disc. YES, it IT IS all German."
