Die Comedian Harmonists

Description

Berlin, 1927: Harry Frommermann sings mainly for fun and is a big fan of the American vocal quartet The Revelers. Now he is looking for professional singers. He wants to form his own ensemble! In response to his advertisement, besides 70 other unemployed men, also Robert Biberti responds, who not only has an extraordinary bass voice but is also a passionate fan of the Revelers. A few days later, Biberti brings two choir colleagues, who in turn bring a pianist, and slowly an a cappella men's singing group takes shape. The young men make music together, rehearse like crazy, struggle through, and finally have their first successes.
The rest is history – a true story at that: the founding of the Comedian Harmonists, the meteoric rise of the sextet, and finally in 1935, the professional ban for the three Jewish members by the National Socialists and the resulting separation of the group.
