There are only one week left until the first Sunday of Advent, and the Christmas spirit is slowly starting to arrive. Together with Martin Neu, we recorded the most beautiful German Christmas carols and put them together into a wonderful album. I hope you enjoy listening!

Re: A German Christmas - Christmas music for brass quintet
When my kids go to sleep, I put on the German radio station Blasmusikradio. A few nights ago, they were playing this music, and I was like "hey, I know this tuba player." What a great sound and great arrangements!Kontrabasstuba wrote: Sat Nov 22, 2025 7:39 amThank you! I used my private Melton 195/2 Fafner.

Re: A German Christmas - Christmas music for brass quintet
Voluptuous sound, as always.
And I like the theme of title selection.
May I suggest some chorales for a follow-up album?
- Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen (a song of Advent rather than Christmas, actually)
- Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen
- Es ist ein Ros´, entsprungen
- Ich steh´an Deiner Krippen hier (Bach´s original version with that gorgeous bass line, of course)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sfjh5SA ... rt_radio=1
- Maria durch ein´n Dornwald ging
- Macht hoch die Tür, die Tor´ macht weit
- Kommet, ihr Hirten
