Jens Digel: Vielfalter
Self-published 4064832932157 (direct sales)
When you open this CD cover, its wings unfold. Such lovingly designed details arouse curiosity about the 13 songs Jens Digel has written and set to music, which he also sings himself: inspiring miniatures of inner strength, of fantasy, of joyful affirmation, and playful juggling with language for younger listeners. As colourful as the detailed booklet is the musical arrangement, which cheerfully includes children singing along. A lively listening experience that adults will also enjoy. For the jury: Regina Himmelbauer
