Edgar Knecht - Good Morning Lilofee

A virtuoso of the piano keys takes on the declining teutonic folk song, and breathes new life into these songs with jazz and world music influences. The pianist and composer Edgar Knecht has managed to find a sensational new approach to the seemingly lost tradition. Maria durch ein Dornwald ging becomes a ballad that getsunder the skin. The song Es war ein K�nig in Thule evolvesinto a virtuoso piece between Beethoven and Cuban salsa. InFroh zu sein bedarf es wenig African 6/8 beat and German3/4 beat revel in a joyous celebration.
