Description
Berlin was the European "hot spot" in the 20s and 30s. These 10 CDs offer a musical tour de force of Berlin's cultural scene in this Babylonian era between two devastating world wars. Irfeatures all the leading artists and bands who transport the flair of this "Golden Age", ambassadors of a society, thirsting for entertainment of any kind. This box is the proof: the German dance music of the time was "swinging". Stars of the cabaret scene stormed the stages of establishments like "Cabarett Größenwahn", "Wilde Bu 776;hne" or "Katakombe". The great dance bands of James Kok, Marek Weber, Efim Schachmeister, Bernard Ette, Will Glahe, Teddy Stauffer, Willy Berking and many others were known through their residences in the "Eden", "Adlon", "Cafe Moka Efti" or the "Delphi Palast". Well-known singers such as Rudi Schuricke, Max Kuttner, Leo Monosson and Paul O'Montis are also presented in this edition. 250 great documents of the Golden Era in the Berlin of the 1920s and 1930s in a 10-CD box. A unique compilation for connoisseurs and curious listeners.
