A best-of album is something nice.

Especially when it is from the Kastelruther Spatzen!
Only the guys have here made a serious mistake and have all new tracks sung, which is not as good simply because the fan just has his personal hit's from the long-term creation of this band and knows inside and out.

Sure, the older and very old titles, such as "If mountains dream" or "Richard and Jasmine", tonal and abmischungstechnisch not up to date, but represent the original, with which the fan has become as older.
They should have more dynamic the originals only in accordance with and adjust the volume and everything would have been okay.
Add to that the audibility of the individual instruments, which was in older recordings enjoyable and was authentic and is now given way to a too shallow Synthesizerbrei.

Difficult is the stock selection, with such an impressive discography but I find it a pity that the title "The black ship" is not there, because I this title has given much, because it is not granted to me to live in my home.
