Birgit Denk & The Novaks

"Dad will take care of it," a song by Gerhard Bronner, still serves as a symbol of corruption today. Who knows the origin? What lies behind the story? How can this title be reinterpreted without straying from the original?

The wonderful, musical family silver of this country is being brought back to life by the singer and entertainer, along with her band and two string players, polished to a high shine and presented with joy. "Die Denk" has successfully performed songs related to Cissy Kraner and Hugo Wiener, the works of 1950s cabaret, at concert evenings, on TV, and on recordings for years. In her research, she came across songs that were created many decades ago and have a significant impact in our time when performed. Hermann Leopoldi, a star before and after World War II, is musically honored. Some titles by Kreisler are also reinterpreted. Of course, we don't want to miss out on Kraner, Qualtinger, Küppers, and Bronner. The originals are quoted, but they are given a fresh breath of life through new instrumentation and arrangements. Many musical "Easter eggs" are hidden for connoisseurs.

A joyfully musical program that navigates between past Viennese wine bliss, witty banter, and exposed petty bourgeoisie.
