Review by Elliot Campbell

The album Rut Rex Singt Erich Kästner by Rut Rex, Edmund Nick is a delightful collection of songs that pay tribute to the beloved German author, Erich Kästner. Rut Rex's beautiful voice and Edmund Nick's expert musical arrangements make for a captivating listening experience.

The album features 14 tracks, each one based on a different poem by Kästner. Rut Rex's voice is both powerful and nuanced, bringing out the emotional depth of each poem. The musical arrangements are equally impressive, with a range of instruments used to create a rich and varied sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Das Verhexte Telefon" (The Bewitched Telephone), which tells the story of a man who receives a call from his deceased wife. Rut Rex's haunting vocals and the eerie music create a sense of unease that perfectly captures the story's supernatural elements.
