The story of The Comedian Harmonists is more than a story of their music. It is a classic tale of the mercurial rise and tragic fall of exceptionally talented performers.
There has never been another male-voice quintet quite like the Comedy Harmonists. Their exquisitely conceived performances, rendered with immaculate musicianship, have never been surpassed. The group's originality lay in the imitation of musical instruments, the way their five voices could sound like a small orchestra.

I have just completed a book on the Comedian Harmonists. I am hoping that it will be available by early next year. If you have any questions about the group, I will be happy to try to answer them.
