Grand Prix of Folk Music 1995
The 10th Grand Prix of Folk Music took place on September 2, 1995 in Vienna ( Austria ). 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 15th in Interlaken (Kursaal), the German on May 28th in Emden (North Sea Hall) and the Austrian on June 17th in Murau (WM-Halle). The events, for which a CD was released with all participants, were broadcast live.
The finale was broadcast by ORF as part of a Eurovision broadcast from Vienna and taken over by ZDF and SRG . 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, Géraldine Olivier was the winner of the 1995 Grand Prix of Folk Music. Your title Take time once again had Rudi Margreiter composed and texted. After Nella Martinetti (1986) and Maja Brunner (1987) , the singer won the Grand Prix for the third time in Switzerland.
The venue for the next Grand Prix of Folk Music in 1996 was determined to be Mainz , regardless of the country of the winner .
