Review by Gerla Pusey-de Boer

Mein Mädel Hat Mich Angelacht Auf Meiner Zither is a charming and delightful album by Heinz Becker Mit Seinen Solisten, Gretli Und Ruedi Egger. The album features a collection of traditional folk songs from Austria and Germany, played on the zither and accompanied by vocals.

The zither, a stringed instrument similar to a guitar or mandolin, is the star of the album, with Heinz Becker's skilled playing bringing out the beauty and complexity of each song. The addition of the vocals by Gretli and Ruedi Egger adds another layer of depth and emotion to the music, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

The songs themselves range from lively and upbeat tunes to more somber and contemplative pieces, showcasing the versatility of the zither as an instrument. Standout tracks include "Mein Mädel Hat Mich Angelacht," a sweet and romantic song, and "Auf Der Alm," a lively and playful tune that will have listeners tapping their feet.
