As its title suggests,
Die Große Weihnachtsparty (The Big Christmas Party) is a Christmas-themed album on which
Matthias Reim covers several seasonal classics in his trademark schlager rock fashion -- including "Oh, du Fröhliche," "Jingle Bells", "Kling, Glöckchen, Klingelingeling," and "Oh Tannenbaum." The album also features a German-language cover of
Wham!'s "Last Christmas" (called "Letzte Weihnacht") with lyrics by
Reim and Joachim Horn-Bernges, and a new song written by
Reim himself ("Wo Bleibt der Schnee"). ~ Christian Genzel
