Various Artists - Minuten Aus Jahrhunderten

"Jewels from five centuries" aptly describes this collection, featuring small pieces of great music, that the a cappella group Octavians presents on their new GENUIN album: canzones, motets, folk songs, and pop songs to which the winners of the 2017 A Cappella Contest Leipzig give their own unique coloring. The spectrum ranges from an old Spanish hymn of praise to motherly love to lieder by Franz Schubert and celebrated songs of our time by Paul Simon and Sting. The charm exuded by the internationally successful gentlemen is fully the match of their vocal skills: a uniform sound, infectious groove, and sparkling clean intonation are the hallmarks of the Octavians - truly a "deluxe boy band"!
