Birgit Denk & Die Novaks

“Der Papa wird’s schon richten”, a song by Gerhard Bronner, is still used today as a symbol for
corruption. Who knows its origins? What is behind the story? How can this
title be reinterpreted without abandoning the original?
The singer and
entertainer, together with her band and two string players, takes the wonderful, musical family silver of this country out of the drawer once again and
polishes it to a high gloss and presents it with relish.
Years ago, “Die Denk” and her band successfully brought songs about Cissy Kraner and
Hugo Wiener, the rags of 50s cabaret, to the people at concert evenings, on TV and on recordings
. During her research, she came across songs that were written many decades ago
and have a great impact in our time, especially when they are performed.
Hermann Leopoldi, a star before and after the Second World War, is honored musically. Many a
Georg Kreisler title is also reinterpreted. Of course, we don’t want to do without Cissy Kraner, Helmut Qualtinger and Gerhard Bronner
. The originals are quoted, but a breath of fresh air is breathed into them through new
instrumentation and arrangements. Many a musical
“Easter egg” is hidden for connoisseurs.
A delightful musical program of seemingly bygone Viennese wine bliss, diatribe
and unmasked petty bourgeoisie.
