Circus Knie (Ein Abend In Unserem National-Circus = Une Soirée Dans Notre Cirque National = Una Serata Nel Nostro Circo Nazionale)

The Circus Knie, often referred to as Switzerland's national circus, has been a cultural staple since its founding in 1803. This record was produced on the Tell Record label to capture the unique sonic atmosphere of a live performance, a common practice during the mid-20th century to allow fans to revisit the spectacle of the big top at home. It serves as a historical document of the circus's musical repertoire and the tradition of equestrian and acrobatic entertainment that defined the Knie family legacy.

The album features a multilingual title reflecting the trilingual nature of Switzerland, ensuring accessibility across the country's diverse linguistic regions. The design and production aimed to evoke the sensory experience of a night at the circus, utilizing field recordings and arrangements performed by the official Orchester Circus Knie. As a release from the Tell Record catalog, it was intended for families and circus enthusiasts who viewed the Knie performances as an essential component of Swiss national identity and festive tradition.
