Review by Pamela Nelson

The album "Kreisler Singt Kreisler Die Unbekannten Chansons Von Georg Kreisler" by Sandra Kreisler and Jochem Hostenbach is a tribute to the famous Austrian satirical songwriter Georg Kreisler. The album features lesser-known songs by Kreisler, sung by his own daughter Sandra and accompanied by pianist Jochem Hostenbach.

The album is a delightful collection of witty, ironic, and occasionally dark songs that showcase Kreisler's unique style and humor. Sandra Kreisler's voice is rich and expressive, and she delivers the lyrics with impeccable timing and nuance. Hostenbach's piano accompaniment is equally impressive, providing a subtle and nuanced backdrop for Kreisler's vocals.

The album includes a mix of solo performances by Sandra Kreisler, as well as duets with Hostenbach. Highlights include "Der Tod, das muss ein Wiener sein" (Death must be a Viennese), "Die Ballade vom Pfeifer" (The Ballad of the Piper), and "Die Tauben vergiften im Park" (Poisoning the Pigeons in the Park).

Summary by Pamela Nelson

"Kreisler Singt Kreisler Die Unbekannten Chansons Von Georg Kreisler" is a must-listen for fans of Georg Kreisler and anyone who appreciates clever, satirical songwriting. Sandra Kreisler and Jochem Hostenbach have done an excellent job of bringing these lesser-known songs to life, and the album is a fitting tribute to one of Austria's greatest songwriters.
