René Jacobs, Konrad Junghänel - German Songs Vol 1

Review by Luis Miguel Casado Diaz

German Songs is a stunning album that showcases the talents of René Jacobs and Konrad Junghänel. The two musicians have created a collection of German songs that are both beautiful and haunting. The album features a wide range of songs, from traditional folk tunes to classical compositions, and each one is performed with skill and passion.

Jacobs and Junghänel's performances are flawless, with Jacobs' rich baritone voice perfectly complementing Junghänel's masterful guitar playing. The duo has a deep understanding of the music they are performing, and they bring a sense of authenticity to each song.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen," a classic German Christmas carol. Jacobs' voice is particularly impressive on this track, and the guitar accompaniment is both delicate and powerful. Another highlight is "Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen," a traditional folk song that showcases Junghänel's skill on the guitar.
