Alpine Tales (Audio book) - Between the mountain and the valley

with the music of Quadro Nuevo
spoken by Luise Kinseher, Jockel Tschiersch and Richard Oehmann
rewritten by Julia Schölzel

Selected Alpine tales newly narrated in a colourful and witty musical framework. Quadro Nuevo goes alpine folk music, so to speak, something the musicians clearly had a lot of fun with. Quaint stories of nasty witches, daring smuggler lads, seductive mountain fairies and the mysterious little man the potent root... The yarns that one used to tell on cosy evenings together in the parlour are brought to life again by the narrational talents of the actors and comedians. There, where the words end, the music takes over keeping the stories alive in the minds and hearts of big and small listeners alike.

But beware: local upper Bavarian and Allgäuer dialects used in part lend the audiobook liveliness and color. There’s no guarantee that everyone will be able understand everything (especially the more northern listeners).
