Videos in German, not necessarily with subtitles

Some people posting here say they want to learn a bit of German.

I thought it might be a good idea to post music or clips of German stuff that are not intended as "study/work", but to just enjoy and maybe get a feeling for the sound of the language.

(Well actually I thought it might be a good idea to post some of the things that I really like. But don't tell anyone)

The first time I ever heard Poesie und Musik - a Swiss group - I did not have a word of German. This group had put music to the words of Heinrich Heine's Ein Wintermärchen. It was so fantastic, I did not need to understand the words, though now that I do understand, it is a bonus.

René Bardet (The narrator) has since died (RIP) and Andreas Vollenweider has made a name for himself playing the harp - which I can totally recommend.

I think this link contains the entire recording. Enjoy
