Caldarelli siblings
The Caldarelli siblings were a folk music singing trio from the Ore Mountains village of Sosa , which gained great fame from the 1930s and 1940s through radio programs and recordings of popular songs, existed for decades and last appeared in public in the 1970s.
Life
The three sisters Tisilda ( married carpenter , 1921–2008), Pierina ( married Lorenz , 1923–2012) and Annina Caldarelli (* 1927) were the youngest of twelve siblings. Annina Caldarelli has also passed away. Her father came in 1902 from the Italian Abruzzo to the Upper Ore Mountains, where he found work as a quarry worker building railways and in 1904 married a local in Sosa.
Active in the church choir from an early age, the siblings' first major success was first place in a singing competition in neighboring Schwarzenberg , organized by the manufacturer and promoter of Ore Mountain customs, Friedrich Emil Krauss . A recording of the concert was broadcast a little later on the Reichsender Leipzig. The Caldarelli siblings were able to win the competition again the following year.
After the war, the siblings appeared again on the radio in spring 1946, also together with the zither player Curt Herbert Richter and the dialect speaker Erwin Günther , son of the popular singer Anton Günther . Tours and recordings followed. After she became pregnant, Tisilda stopped performing in 1953; she was replaced by Hilde Kranz. Pierina had meanwhile also married and lived in Leipzig , Annina lived in Stendal . Among other things, the Caldarelli siblings appeared in front of 5,000 spectators in Prague in the open air and in the GDR television program "Da laughs the bear". On September 14, 1974, the vocal group gave a public concert for the last time, but also performed occasionally in the Erzgebirge afterwards. The only singer still alive, Hilde Kranz, lives in Hanover today.
aftermath
Even decades after they fell silent, they were still referred to as Erzgebirge legends. In 2013 the Caldarelli siblings said: “The Caldarelli siblings sang the most beautiful Erzgebirge Christmas carols between 1940 and 1970.” In 2016, their CD was released again, Christmas in the Erzgebirge . Further CD recordings are still available.
