The Alpenoberkrainer (Slovenian Alpski kvintet ) are a folk music group from Slovenia .

The group, whose recordings are always published in two languages ​​(German and Slovene) with a few exceptions, is one of the representatives of the so-called Oberkrainermusik .

history

In 1966, a businessman from Alsace needed a music group to perform in his restaurant. Jože Antonič then founded the group together with friends.

The big breakthrough came with the instrumental title Good Morning , composed by the accordionist Jože Burnik at the time. In German-speaking countries, however, the song Mädel aus Krain and the instrumental polka Schöne Urlaubzeit are best known.

Thanks to a revolutionary playing technique on the baritone horn , Janez and his baritone were able to post another success in the early 1980s.

For health reasons Burnik had to leave the group in 1983, his successor was Edi Semeja.

At the beginning of the 1990s, after the departure of the singer Oto Pestner , who sang in a duet with Ivanka Kraševec-Prešern, a vocal trio was used for several years, but in 1995 the line-up was changed significantly. After Jože Antonič became mayor of the Slovenian city of Bled , Marjan Rolc joined them.

After another staff change, the group has experienced a new high since 2005.

The musical difference to Slavko Avsenik and his Original Oberkrainern is the emphasis on the trumpet and the accordion, despite the same instrumentation, while Avsenik placed the clarinet in the foreground. The best example of this difference are the instrumental pieces Sirenen-Polka and the waltz Hirtenlied by Avsenik and his original Oberkrainern and Ivan plays on or morning sun from the Alpenoberkrainern.

While in Avsenik the solo of the clarinet was mostly dominated by Albin Rudan, in the case of the Alpenoberkrainers the trumpeter Ivan Présern was in the foreground, who always gave the songs that certain "something" through his brilliant ability, today Damir Tkavc stands in his place.

Discography
