Folk songs have emerged from the people out, they are therefore the people soul and voice in the truest sense of the word.
Joys and sorrows, sadness, longing, love, death and faith are expressed in it - in the text and the melody (!).
Achim Reichel ultimately denies this fact with its musical interpretation, consciously or unconsciously, intentionally or unintentionally but actually already entitled "Volxlieder".
The wonderful dynamics, can be sung with the folk songs is, nowadays, unfortunately, often easily dismissed in ignorance as "kitsch", just because our time now generally gefühlskälter, love poorer, materialistic and thus become more sober, and the company thus increasingly precise loss learns to values that were usually sung in folk songs.
Instead of openly confessing to folk songs and their simple, even "inner" beauty, but for example, Franz Schubert is then "Am Brunnen vor dem Tore" - such as on the CD by Reichel - simply "botched" the voice still sounding for at least 1.3 per thousand. "The moon has risen", one of the most wonderful poems of German Romanticism in general is brutal "verschnulzt". The song is good then only ncoh as "Knutschsong".
With such versions of the folk songs, which are here exemplified, but should probably be also meets the demands of dauerbetäubten of drum sounds and thereby unintentionally modest become musically people.
But that now avoid misunderstandings:
Here the cudgels for the Musikantenstadl is not, etc. Broken Events, where yet another "clientele" is operated.
No, it comes that folk songs should not be "flattened".
But the tastes are just different - and there are also only Volxlieder ....
After all earned Achim Reichel a plus point because it the old songs
has picked up again.
