Baroque booze - soberly considered

From brandy sees Hannes Wader - in his own words in the booklet - at least as much as Bellman. Yes, I have to confirm with regret as many listeners drunken Wader performances ... So there I prefer the dry CD sound. And on this he shows it again: Wader is an excellent singer who recites delicate and expressive at each location and even the Baroque staircase pointedly song of minuets and cantatas. Despite the preference of the poet as the singer for the Alcoholic Wader sings very well also the other out: the joy, the pleasure and the pain, the sensuous and the sad. Because even Klaus Hoffmann remains in the shadow, which now can on stage no water, let alone the rich liquor, again.
In the same year appeared "Süverkrüp sings Graßhoffs Bellman" at Conträr music. Dieter Süverkrüp and Hannes Wader have chosen very different epistles. While Süverkrüp more text and voice comes to the fore, it is at Wader just the music of the rococo, the here - elaborately orchestrated, arranged and interpreted folkloric - comes into its own. And in the cascade of these melodies the singer moves like a fish in water, accompanied by excellent musicians like Reinhard and Martin Bärenz, Peter Hecht and others.
Too bad - but also the typical Wader - that he gives the impression of something immodest in the booklet, the lyrics, at least the transmission, actually come from him. No, he thinks it's essentially the Graßhoffschen translation, and that is good and must be said.
Who wants to hear how it sounds when an over two hundred years reaching congeniality of poets and singers to music which should enjoy a jug Bacchus', these songs.
Bottom Up!
