Album Description
German folk songs tell the tales and stories of all walks of life. Singing as a means of expressing oneself is as common throughout German culture as beer!

The symbol of the Blue Flower (Die Blaue Blume) represents the mystical search often found in German folk songs. It is a symbol of the longing for the beyond. This selection of traditional German folk songs is sung in the spirit of community.

Customer Reviews

For Lovers of German Folk Music
I was looking for something that was not a German brass band or accordion music from Oktoberfest. Not that I don't like that kind of music but I already have recordings of that festive, oom-pa-pa kind. I wanted something different but folksy. I found Die Blaue Blume and listened to some of the samples. It intrigued me so I bought it. I fell in love. This is like listening to Christmas carols or old Church hymns. I sounds like something that you would sing with your family and friends around a camp fire or in the evening around the piano in your living room. The songs are accompanied by guitar, violin, flute, and other instruments that give it a down home feel. I find it very relaxing to listen to.

Wonderful Harmony
The voices on this CD blend really well. Not harsh like other samples of German Folk Music I had heard. Very soothing music and I love the flute accompaniment.

folk music for the weak
I have always wanted to hear some german folk music that wasn't beer drinking music, so I decided to get this cd. The singing is done with good harmony and the music itself is also good. My problem with the songs is that they all start to sound the same and the music is usually slow, which is okay for some of the songs but not most of them. Also I started to get tired with the singing after a while. It would have been better if some of the songs had a faster pace to them like a lot of other european folk music. I would say that this is a good cd for any one who likes folk music, especially german folk music. Afterall the other reviewers seemed to have liked it a lot, while I myself thought that it was just all right.
