Grand Prix of Folk Music 1994
The ninth Grand Prix of Folk Music took place on July 2, 1994 in Zurich ( Switzerland ). As in previous years , the participating countries were Germany , Austria and Switzerland. As has been the case since 1989 , a public preliminary decision was held on television in each country earlier this year. In each case 5 titles were determined for the final. The Swiss preliminary decision took place on April 2nd in Interlaken , the German on April 17th in Rostock and the Austrian on April 23rd in Steyr . The events, for which a CD was released with all participants, were broadcast live.
The final was broadcast by SRG as part of a Eurovision broadcast from Zurich and taken over by ZDF and ORF . The moderators were again Carolin Reiber (Germany), Karl Moik (Austria) and Sepp Trütsch (Switzerland), who already led through the respective preliminary decisions in their country. The starting order of the titles and countries had been drawn beforehand. After the title was presented, several juries from the participating countries determined their favorite, although the titles from their own country were not allowed to be rated.
At the end of the ranking, Henry Arland with Hansi and Maxi was the winner of the 1994 Grand Prix of Folk Music. Henry Arland himself composed her title Echo der Berge . Henry Arland and his sons Hansi and Maxi won the Grand Prix for the fourth time in Germany after the Original Naabtal Duo (1988), the Kastelruther Spatzen (1990) and Stefanie Hertel (1992).
Vienna was chosen as the venue for the next Grand Prix of Folk Music in 1995 , regardless of the country of the winner .
