Comedian Harmonists - Best of

In the organizer's words:

Experience the music of the legendary vocal ensemble from the Golden Twenties live.

While hordes of unemployed singers were selling their art for the price of a hot meal in the grimy backyards of the Weimar Republic, the revue temples on Berlin's Kurfürstendamm were selling shiny golden dreams to an audience of millions hungry for pleasure night after night. In the sparkling glittering world of the post-war 1920s, the fame of the Comedian Harmonists shone particularly brightly: modeled on the American vocal quartet "The Revelers", the six-member ensemble led by Ari Leschnikoff, Erich Abraham-Collin, Harry Frommermann, Roman Cycowski, Robert Biberti and pianist Erwin Bootz thrilled audiences with a mixture of cheeky popular hits on the musical pulse of the times and flawless harmony singing that was previously unknown in Germany. With hits such as "Veronika, der Lenz ist da", "Ein Freund, ein guter Freund" and "Wochenend und Sonnenschein", they conquered Europe's concert halls in record time and, thanks to the modern mass medium of vinyl records, soon became an integral part of living rooms across the country.
