This CD is the result of a charity “lullaby project”. It was initiated by the singer Cornelius Hauptmann, who was concerned that traditional lullabies were dying out. For many children, lullabies are their first intense contact with music and Hauptmann was able to persuade 52 of the best German singers whose first language is German to record one lullaby each, for no fee.
