This man with his incredible music style has made my taste for music, I would not trade it away for anything .... an elegance that has never been heard before ....
Como músico, director de Orquesta, compositor, arreglista que trabajó con The Beatles cuando estos eran apenas poco conocidos; el maestro Bert Kaempfert es un genio que solo aparece una vez en la vida. Sus grabaciones para el sello Polydor, Decca, Brunswick, MCA, son verdaderas joyas musicales que todo buen melómano debe conservar dentro de su discoteca.. Para mi este músico fue uno de los más grandes del siglo XX. Desde Lima, capital del Perú comentó Luis Alberto Espinoza Bazán.
Though mainly British instrumentalists, in addition to Ack Van Rooyen, Bert also brought over Herb Geller (sax and flute)- seen at around 4.50 on flute, the magnificent Rolf Ahrens on drums, Ladi Geisler on bass guitar and a few others. I remember being at this concert with my father and uncle when I was 13, and it was one of THE events, and gave Bert the taste for live performing. We Brits were major fans long before the Germans and long after the Americans!
GENIAL!! Bert Kaempfert por siempre. El mejor músico y más grande visionario. Fue el primero que verdaderamente vio en un grupo que pocos conocian algo que lo movio a poner un esfuerzo por ellos. Les hizo grabar por su propia cuenta y cargo, acondicionando el escenario de un colegio en la maravillosa Alemania. El resultado fueron unos siete temas que hoy a más de 50 años de distancia suenan como si se hubieran grabado ayer. Ellos fueron también los más grandes de la historia, The Beatles.
The sad and untimely passing of Bert Kaempfert left a big void in the world of music. He is not easily forgotten and we are the less without him. This recording befits our memories of him and his musical genius.
A big thanks has to go to Frank, for sharing this historic concert with all of us. " If people know my tunes.......that's enough" Bert Kaempfert once said. Guess the internet and YTube will contribute considerably to make Bert's music known to an even wider audience !
Dear Frank, this is a wonderful video! I just adore Bert Kaempfert's music and it's a big surprise for me to discover this video! Bravo, cher ami, continue à poster tout cela. C'est formidable. I adore! Claudine.
thank you for sharing this with us. I consider this man one of the worlds last true composers. No one uses an orchestra anymore, and definitely not like this! Namaste my ninjas!
Fui ao Céu e desci ao final deste majestoso espetáculo. Que majestosa orquestração, interpretação enfim, tudo o que se deseja de uma boa musica para sonhar e relaxar. Berth Kaempfert foi um dos grandes gênios musicais do Sec XX.
What a wonderful music this man produced! All my childhood is flashed back in time and I feel happy again! That's the magic of music and specially this orchestra that reminds of a wonderful time when my father used to listen with my motherBK and Ray Conniff and others before they went to bed. and I was there, awaken in my bedroom, every night waiting for this special time too! Sergio
I could not agree more. Bert Kaempfert transcended "easy listening" - there was jazz, light music, dance band stuff, and way more. He was a great arranger, a great composer and a one off. His arrangements and many of his compositions were complex, required the highest quality musicians and were worthy of, in a different genre, of the best classical musicians. Wonderful stuff!
I was a fan already from Bert 60 years ago. And I'm still thrilled when I hear other live recordings like this one. A pitty that Ack van Rooyen (the bugle solist) isn't along us since last year.
SAMTanzug im Brtisch Racing Green und die Musik swingt gnadenlos gut. Wie auch die Live-Aussteuerung von Herrn Peter Klemt perfekt ist. Ohne Ihn wäre kein Kaempfert Sound entstanden. Auch James Last hatte ihn, glaube ich immer dabei.
OMG, thanks for this post! I wish I could see this orchestra live today. What a huge orchestra at that! This music is a clinic for drummers wanting to learn to play brushes! Genius.
The flugelhorn soloist is Ack van Rooyen. He is my favorite flugelhorn player! Therefore I have transcribed a series of 12 of his best chorusses, including one over this tune with Bert K. . Order the book incl. CD with the original sound tracks under jazz-alive.de! Das Flüglehorn- Solo spielt Ack van Rooyen. Er ist mein Lieblings- Flügelhornspieler. Eine Sammlung von 12 seiner besten Solos, einschließlich einem über Take the A Train mit Bert Kaempfert incl. CD gibt es bei jazz-alive.de!
Fabulous. Was at the concert with a largely UK orchestra plus star Fluegal Horn player, Ack van Rooyen, who has had no equal for lyrical playing,this side of the Atlantic since 1945. Thanks for wonderful memories. CB
Era riuscito a coniugare lo stile di glen miller con il romanticismo mitteleuropeo creando un sound unico e personalizzato,inimitabile, grazie per quello che ci hai regalato.
VELVET suit in the Racing Green table and the music swings mercilessly well. Just like Mr. Peter Klemt's live control is perfect. Without him, no Kaempfert Sound would have come about. James Last always had it with him, I think. Kaempfert. A sydonym, as it were, in a musical post-war reparation performance. Correct and unobtrusive in the well thought-out, simple arrangement skills. Five trumpets and trumpets of the same kind. An uncastrated carpet of sound of the same kind. Strings in the background until you drop. Only in Tuxedo Junction ARE ALL OF YOU ALLOWED to break out once in the pulled arrangement. A large number of the musicians are later also with Hans Last. What a LIVE quality. Wasn't the sound engineer the well-known Klempt?
Not to worry, music "this great" will be rediscovered by new generations to come. Time is "as you take it" and great music will stand the test of time.
I'm introducing my 1 year old grand daughter to his music. She loves it. Ever seen a concert video of "Sweet Caroline"? I love watching the violin section on that.

You're perfectly right. I feel the same way...

Timeless music, that reminds me of my childhood, so wonderful!!!
That's music. You young people, listen to it!
What a Great sound from Bert and his orchestra. I have loved them since I was about 25 years old in 1968.

he makes music seem to creep from under the floorboards, what a sound, very stylish would love to have gone to a concert

Es un lujo poder ver y escuchar a esta maravillosa orquesta.
La escucho por muchos años
The Germans have such good musicians!
There folk music is good as well.
Que GRAN BANDA es una delicia disfrutarla,lastima que no se repita otra igual
Never had idea of Kaempfert dedicating such a lovely song as "LOVE" to King Cole, though I heard it in his voice. Great detail !!!
The Master at work!
this is class, style, and top drawer music from a legend of my era. thank you for posting all of it.

Обалдеть! Это такая музыка, от которой жить хочется!!!!!
Fantastic concert, I was 15yrs old when this took place .
Este álbum en vivo es una obia de Maestra . Bert Kaempfert genial!

Great posting!..How I wish I was at this concert!
Genial para crear una música tan, tan exquisita, maravillosa y por supuesto imperecedera por su calidad

So sad this music is not as popular as the "head banging" rock stuff!
Not to worry, music "this great" will be rediscovered by new generations to come. Time is "as you take it" and great music will stand the test of time.
I'm introducing my 1 year old grand daughter to his music. She loves it. Ever seen a concert video of "Sweet Caroline"? I love watching the violin section on that.
