Streichmusik Bänziger, Jodlerclub Alpeblueme - Glöcklech Sömmer

Review by Marissa Lowe

Glöcklech Sömmer, the latest album by Streichmusik Bänziger, Jodlerclub Alpeblueme, is a delightful collection of traditional Swiss folk music. The album features a range of instruments, including violins, accordions, and brass, all played with precision and skill. The harmonies are tight, the rhythms lively, and the melodies catchy and uplifting.

The album opens with the lively "Bärgfrüehlig," a tune that captures the joy and energy of springtime in the mountains. The title track, "Glöcklech Sömmer," is a beautiful waltz that evokes the warmth and beauty of a summer day. The album also includes several yodeling numbers, showcasing the group's impressive vocal abilities.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "S'isch Zyt," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that features a plaintive melody played on the violin. The song builds to a stirring crescendo, with the full band joining in to create a powerful and emotional finale.
