BERTA EPPLE unterm Baum
- Location:
- Theaterhaus, Siemensstr. 11, 70469 Stuttgart
It was already planned in the days of Tango Five. It never came to pass. But now the guys from Berta Epple have finally made their dream come true and given themselves and us a sparkling, swinging and fragrant Christmas program. The accompanying CD is also "freshly baked" under the tree.
Gregor Hübner, Bobbi Fischer and Veit Hübner have rearranged their personal favourite Christmas carols, partly rewritten the lyrics and harmonized them in three voices. The result is a revue in which Bavarian devotional yodels stand side by side with soulful grooves, like the ox and donkey in Bethlehem's stalI. Jazz ballads alternate with fervent English anthems. Sometimes in German, sometimes in English and finally: also in Swabian! The rousing virtuoso qualities of the band members on their instruments are not neglected. (Including a breakneck sleigh ride in 7/8 time!) Finally, the very personal experiences with the feast of feasts in the form of funny anecdotes, poems and stories round off the festive feast. Berta Epple's show is a gift you won't want to exchange.
Merry Christmas!
