ZUCKOWSKI In der Weihnachtsbäckerei / Lang Lang | Deutsche Grammophon

“I was surprised by the opportunity to hear my children’s song in such a high-class interpretation and feel highly honored by this appreciation on the part of Lang Lang.” 

Pianist Lang Lang releases his new single In der Weihnachtsbäckerei, a fresh take on one of Germany’s most beloved holiday songs. This playful piano arrangement by Schindler brings new energy to the festive favorite while preserving its warm, nostalgic spirit. The piece was originally written for children’s choir by Rolf Zuckowski, one of Germany’s most influential singer-songwriters of children’s music who has shaped generations with his timeless compositions, having written over 600 songs and sold millions of albums. This piano version captures the cozy magic of the original while adding a contemporary and virtuosic twist – the perfect soundtrack for getting into the holiday spirit.
