Hans Albers - His Songs - with Dirk Witthuhn and Wolfgang Völkl

Hans Albers was far more than the stereotype of a singing sailor: as the greatest male star of UFA, he stands alongside Marlene Dietrich and the Comedian Harmonists. His vocal style inspired Udo Lindenberg, Rio Reiser, and Herbert Grönemeyer, while his authentic, direct acting style shaped German sound cinema like no other. His role in Third Reich films remained controversial - simultaneously exploited and despised by "Dr. Goehhhbels", as Albers mockingly called the propaganda minister.

Dirk Witthuhn and Wolfgang Völkl take the audience on a journey through a life of light and shadow - featuring well-known songs like "Komm auf die Schaukel, Luise", "Hoppla, jetzt komm ich", and "La Paloma", alongside lesser-known musical gems from the depths of Albers' world.
