Kunscht is enough of a risk

The directness of Mani Matter's own singing accompanied by guitar is unparalleled. His lyrics and music are simply spot on! He hits the right note and strikes the heart. The new CD of the Kammerton Quartet has been maturing for ten years. Now it is here. Mani Matter a cappella for four voices is a bold venture. Therefore, the new arrangements stay close to the original, embracing the simple melodies and the vivid, concise lyrics. The pieces have been newly dressed by twelve renowned Swiss musicians and composers. The twenty-five songs have lost none of their freshness and authenticity.
