The genious double bass player Dieter Ilg has plucked the bass for Randy Brecker, improvised with Albert Mangelsdorff and most recently with Til Brönner and he accompanied Thomas Quasthoff. With great joy and deep passion, he always brings classical works on the music stand and has earned not least the label as the German double bassist par excellence. After his excursions to Verdi's "Otello" and Wagner's "Parsifal", his next agenda is a next pillar saint, who was a virtuoso pianist composer and daring improviser: Ludwig van Beethoven. In his jubilee year, Dieter Ilg and his colleagues will present an intimate chamber jazz evening with predominantly quiet, at times meditative tones. Garnished with lyrics by and to the great music genius, read by star baritone Thomas Quasthoff.
