Somehow, although I didn't live during the time of these recordings or the wide popularity of the Comedian Harmonists and others of its kind, this group's music ignites in me a deep sense of nostalgia and historical passion, as it were, that few other recordings can match. This is a surprisingly good refurbishing of the original recordings of the 1930s, and most of the Comedian Harmonists' best songs are included. Many of the songs are sentimental, others are lively and funny, others are serious; but all are deeply nostalgic. This group folded in the late thirties because of the rise of the Nazis in Germany, but their legacy remains to be one of the most important in the annals of popular and folk music history.
