Review by Carl Hartenstein

Album Review: Weihnachtslieder Unserer Nachbarn by Aalener Sängerknaben Alright, let’s dive into this little gem of an album—Weihnachtslieder Unnerer Nachbarn (Christmas Songs of Our Neighbors) by the Aalener Sängerknaben, led by Friedrich Hägele. If you’re into classical music with a folk twist and some world vibes sprinkled in, this is worth your time. It’s not flashy or overproduced; it feels more like sitting around a cozy fire while someone tells stories through song. The mix of choir harmonies, soloists, and instruments like oboe, organ, and even harpsichord gives it that old-school charm. One track that stuck with me was "Entre Las Ocho Y Las Nueve." I mean, how can you not love something so smooth? The guitar work from Achim Stelzer and Georg Argauer just glides along, setting up this warm vibe. And then Rudolf Schlipf steps in with his bass vocals—he doesn’t try too hard, but man, does he nail it. There’s something about the way the choir joins in later—it’s simple yet super moving. You don’t need to speak Spanish to feel its soul. Another standout for me has gotta be "Grand Dieu! Que De Merveilles." This one hits different. The oboe played by Hermann Hailer adds this hauntingly beautiful layer, almost like it’s whispering secrets from another time. When Reinhold Schlipf comes in with his tenor voice, it’s like he’s telling you a story without needing words. Honestly, I found myself replaying this track because it felt like there was always something new to notice—a subtle harmony here, a soft organ note there. Now, sure, some tracks are classic Christmas tunes like "Jingle Bells" and "O Little Town Of Bethlehem," which might make you think, “Oh great, another holiday cover.” But nah, these guys give ‘em their own spin. They don’t just phone it in—they actually care. You can tell everyone involved poured their heart into making each piece special. What really makes this album stand out isn’t just the music itself—it’s the vibe. It’s kinda raw, unpolished in the best way possible. Like they didn’t sit in a studio tweaking every second to death. Instead, it feels alive, like you’re right there in the room with them as they perform. And hey, here’s the kicker—I listened to this during a random Tuesday afternoon, expecting nothing much. By the end, I was googling where exactly Aalen is on a map. Weird, right? Music shouldn’t just entertain—it should take you places. And this album? Yeah, it took me somewhere unexpected.
