This CD presents a unique opportunity to indulge in some high-quality fun music not widely known in this country.
Known affectionately as 'EK1 and 2' Künneke father and daughter went their separate ways once Evelyn (1921-2001) began to promote her own career.
Her father Eduard (1885-1953) was the successful composer of 1920’s and 30’s operettas (particularly Glückliche Reise heard on this CD) that made generous use of dance forms as well as the gloriously over the top Dance Suite. Many of his songs are still familiar today; his graceful music is notable for its rhythm and striking harmonies. Eduard Künneke’s best-known work is the 1921 operetta Der Vetter aus Dingsda.
Evelyn, whose singing style was not unlike that of Alice Faye, had the misfortune to rise to fame during the war but her criticisms of the system almost resulted in her death. She retained her popularity through the rock ‘n’ roll era and starred in Fassbinder films. In old age she toured in cabaret with two others in an act called Three Old Bags!
