... because why? It's simple: The Viennese song (for some even "Heurigen rags") is in danger of extinction. Unfortunately. The 42 songs on this double CD is Peter Alexander for the best part of the majority of the major Viennese songs "old time". I thought it was great for date of publication of the phonogram that SonyBMG (!!) "something" out there. Was not really something new. Granted .... until the death of the artist has brought me back to take the CD again with the car and also to look at the PC back to them again often times "zizerlweis" - such as the Wiener says - to hear. Only .... at zizerlweis is Ned bliebn .... i huachs in Wagl on and o and eigndlich a daham .... Since Peda woa scho wiakle Guad ... na..guad woar a ned ... ea woa A Korefäh ... a ECHTA Kapazunda ... and he was the best entertainer, the Austria ever had. May well sound anything like I was a huge fan of him. But I'm not. Bloss grew up with his hits (if my mother has set up panels or cassette inserted). Anyway ... in many songs even come to my time setting the tears (BOI OIM nor zwa three viadln ..) .. simply because they are beautiful and true. And so, as another reviewer said, that everything is funny and positive .... It's not like the Viennese song ... listen carefully must ma halt. We "real" Vienna (with "real" I mean not Sackbauer types) accept death just not so serious. If he wants, ma sit with him just now and no drinking what with him. And then you sauf under the table ...... and then ... well jo..wasst eh ... he gets the short end ... The real Viennese have now been reduced to a little more than a fifth - readers may understand that the way they want .... I hope not wrong. This CD is certainly an absolute buy recommendation ... especially at this price .. (At the time I paid more). You buy them ... and above all: they listen to you and listen to ....
