Birge Tetzner: Fred at Tell Halaf (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Fred, the inquisitive son of an archaeologist stumbles, for "Fred the country of the Scythians" now in his second great adventure. "Fred at Tell Halaf" is the new radio play by Birge Tetzner that "The Salvaged Gods from the Palace of Tell Halaf" is parallel to the exhibition of the Ancient Near East Museum emerged. The story has been specially designed for children and are a special insight into a bygone era, when Max von Oppenheim discovered Tell Halaf in distant Syria. The play thus succeeds "Fred in the country of the Scythians on", which was originally intended as a single radio play. With publication of the new series, however, also changed the cover design of the predecessor radio play and the two radio plays delight now in matching outfits the audience. This gives the impression, as it will perhaps give one or the other "Fred" -Adventure in future.

Back to the present, but radio play adventures. After Fred got in the land of Scythians visit from another time, the boy experienced this time even an exciting journey through time. Fred has traveled with the distant Mesopotamia, where his father directs the excavations at Tell Halaf. For an exciting day Fred suddenly makes acquaintance with Baron Max von Oppenheim, who discovered in 1899 at Tell Halaf remains of the Aramaic city Guzana. Fred is stunned, because Baron Oppenheim is already long death. And then Fred is suddenly themselves back in time and learn the nomadic boys Sayid, with whom he spent an exciting day. But it succeeds Fred again to return to its proper time and to his father?

As in the first radio play, there remains the issue of time travel Birge Tetzner faithful. Nevertheless, "Fred at Tell Halaf" is a completely new story and hardly resembles its predecessor. The adventure, in which Fred stumbles here is even more unusual and crazy. So the entertainment factor is not neglected. But of course it is supposed to learn new things about the archeology in general and Max von Oppenheim and his discovery in Syria in particular at the hearing. This mix of adventure and knowledge is Birge Tetzner here again well done. Only sometimes the telling, explaining passages (especially the beginning of Fred's father) fallen somewhat in detail to. This means that the spoken word is no longer sounds like a dialogue, but a lecture like. This fact takes the voice radio play something the river. And otherwise I have to honestly say that my present result did not quite as well-liked as the old one, but what I founded with the contents of the radio play.

Well done, I find this reaction with all its sounds and background music. The play sounds authentic, and very much alive through the many different sounds. My favorite scene here is the Italian restaurant. The funny top with an Italian accent and on top of that the parallels between a lasagna and a tell I was very imaginative.

Also on the speakers is nothing to complain. Narrator Harry Kuehn leads merrily through the plot and Remo Schulze as Fred or Tino Blazejewski as a father likes me well. Perhaps Remo Schulze sounds a little too grown into his role. Because sometimes I had the impression that father and son would be more good friends. In the role of Max von Oppenheim Michael Berndt is heard. This speaks his role full of energy and dedication, so that people like him wanted to cut back a bit. But these are all just little things that do not detract from the action.

Inside the booklet you will find a short information about Max von Oppenheim and the backgrounds of his discovery. Together with the radio drama get here young and old listeners a nice story on offer and a great deal of knowledge. Unfortunately enough, "Fred at Tell Halaf" not quite match the previous radio play approach, but knows to convince and I am looking forward to the next journey into the past.
