Köln: Cologne (Book & 4-CD set)

Cologne looks back on a history of over 2000 years of the colorful, busy city on the river Rhine. With its unique landmark, the Cologne Cathedral, Cologne is not only one of Europe's most significant cultural centers but also an important trading place of international status. During the carnival season, city life becomes truly exuberant. The photos of Max Grönert provide an intimate insight into this town's numerous facets, including the people, places, and traditions of this beautiful European city. The accompanying 4 music CDs feature excerpts of works from famous local composers, Cologne orchestras and choirs, as well as popular songs from Colognian singer-songwriters and rock musicians who make use of the local dialect.
