Book & 4 CDs. Text in English & German. This book looks back on a history of over 2000 years. The colourful, busy city on the Rhine with its unique landmark, the Cologne Cathedral, is not only one of Europe's most significant cultural centres but also an important trading place of international status. During the carnival season city life becomes truly exuberant and turns on its head. Max Grönert's photographic portraits give an intimate insight into this town's numerous facets: Music CDs: The CDs truly reflect the significance of music of any kind in Cologne. Excerpts of famous local composers' works, e.g. Humperdinck, Offenbach and Bruch, Cologne orchestras and choirs; popular "kölsch" songs by local characters like Willi Ostermann and Willy Millowitsch, the Black Fööss, the Höhner. Cologne rock musicians and singers like LSE, Brings, Zeltinger, Köster also like to make use of the local dialect. The Cologne music scene has always been innovative and the Unknown Cases, Hans Nieswandt, Whirlpool Production are positive proof of this.
