I agree with Valerie - I was a military brat and my dad was stationed in Germany for a number of years. My mother was my music and arts mentor and this specific album was what she would play for my sister and I to wake us up during the month of December. This music, hot cream of wheat, and a warm house and we KNEW that we were loved. Mom is gone, but not the wonderful memories she and I shared over this album. I am in desperate hope of obtaining this CD someday. God Bless You Heintje, you have made my holidays more bearable.
Beautiful German Christmas songs! - Great selection of German Christmas songs by Heintje. If this CD is unavailable here, you can find it under a different title: Hollands Glorie Kerst. At least that s how it s listed on iTunes.
Magnetic Voice - For anyone who is a fan of this great Dutch childstar, I highly recommend this Christmas CD. Like the artist, I am also Dutch (though only on my mother s side). I find it rather strange I never heard of him in my childhood, he is, after all, only five years older than me. But having purchased this CD I must say: better late than never. He is truly a masterpiece and sings like a cherub. And he must have had girls at his feet! Even at this late date, I will remain a big fan of his. So for those of you out there who are likewise a fan, please, purchase this CD for your holiday collection. You kind folks will be glad you did! It will give you goose bumps.The orchestration is fantastic let alone the talented and heavenly array of back-up singers.
A Wonderful Heart-Warming Christmas Tradition - My mother always played Heintje at Christmas. I will be sharing his beautiful music with my own children. We only had the LP s and no player for several years. I ve missed it terribly, but thankfully it s still available. I wish I had thought to look sooner! Froliche Weihnachten!
