celebrate music
There they lay, Aunt Angela’s old records: ancient recordings of the Philharmoniker, Christmas carols with the Boys’ Choir, arias with René Kollo. We didn’t have the heart to throw away her musical treasure after her death. We didn’t have a turntable either. So we got a new device. Since then, listening to records has been something special. It takes a while until the record is put on, after half an hour it’s the turn of the B-side. The songs have to be heard in the given order – and that’s how they get their value. Records are not suitable for quick listening, but for what music is made for: celebrating. And Christmas with the Boys’ Choir – that’s something. Thank you, Aunt Angela!

The comparison of vinyl with digital streaming services has its equivalent in music: here the style-conscious jazz connoisseurs, there those who are enthusiastic about a mass-market pop and rock culture.
Discovering new music has never been as easy as it is today: Countless platforms enable the general public to explore the world of high-resolution music varieties that can be carried in your pocket and accessed anytime and anywhere. Records identify lovers, they will maintain their market position as an expression of a sophisticated way of life. Nothing more, however, because it would be the first time that people have decided against convenience.
