Klaus Lage & Bo Heart - ZU ZWEIT. LIVE.

Description

KLAUS LAGE presents - together with his longtime band member and friend BO HEART - his songs in an unusual arrangement. He sings songs from his over 40-year career up to pieces from his current album. Concerts by KLAUS LAGE with BO HEART have left an enthusiastic audience everywhere in over 200 performances so far. Currently, the two are resuming the concept and present both the classics and current songs from the singer's pen with "ZU ZWEIT. LIVE.".
Of course, the hits that made KLAUS LAGE a household name are also on the setlist. BO HEART at the piano sets the songs in a way that could not be more impressive. Live and pure: the piano and the voice. This special lineup highlights the qualities of the singer as well as those of the exceptional pianist BO HEART. Every title, whether rock song or ballad, appears here in a new dimension. Naturally, transparent arrangements in the program invite you to listen and enjoy a voice like no other in Germany. But no one has to do without German-language rock songs, for which KLAUS LAGE is one of the pioneers, because BO "Boogie" HEART, an expert in groove & musicality, repeatedly gets the audience out of their seats. Biographical: KLAUS LAGE was born on June 16, 1950, in Soltau. Milestones: training as a merchant, relocation to Berlin in the early 70s, retraining as an educator, later then social worker. In the mid-70s, he played with his "Berliner Rockensemble" in the rock and blues clubs of the capital. His first albums are "Musikmaschine" (1980) and "Positiv" (1982). After his career gained momentum with his third album "Stadtstreicher" (1983), he achieved a major breakthrough with the release of "Schweißperlen" (1984) and the extracted "1001 Nacht" and established himself as a fixed figure in the German rock scene. This status was reinforced by his hits "Faust auf Faust" (extracted from the album "Heisse Spuren" and the title song for the first Schimanski cinema film), "Monopoli", "Mit meinen Augen" or "Weil Du anders bist" (duet with Irene Grandi, from the 94 album "Katz und Maus"). Above all, through his countless concerts and tours, where he repeatedly proves what a grand singer and captivating live performer he is. In the musical "Stars," KLAUS LAGE plays the title role between November 1995 and fall 1996. The performances at the Theater Nordhausen are sold out from the premiere. In 1994, he made a name for himself with the release of his now 11th album "Katz und Maus" (East West Records) and an extensive Germany tour with his band. Walt Disney Studios commissioned him in 1996 for their sensational film project "Toy Story." KLAUS LAGE translates and interprets the film songs by Randy Newman. The first fully computer-animated feature film was a huge success. In April 1999, the album "LIVE ZU ZWEIT" was released by East West Records. "LIVE ZU ZWEIT" is a concert recording of the duo program with BO HEART, which was equally well received by audiences and critics. Followed by the CDs "Mensch bleiben" (2000), "Die Welt ist schön!" (2003), "Zug um Zug" (2006). In 2008, two new albums appeared: a double CD ("Beste Lage") with 38 titles of his career selected by the artist himself, and the work "nah & wichtig" recorded with his new band and highly praised by critics. In 2011, he released two more albums within a year: in spring, the band production "Der Moment" and in fall, the solo live CD "Alleingang" (EMI). In 2013 and 2015, "Zeitreisen" (solo, live) and "Neuauflage" were released, followed by the celebrated quartet recording "Blaue Stunde." In 2018, KLAUS LAGE fulfilled his long-held dream with the CD "Das Big Band Projekt" to release his songs in big band arrangements. Recorded in a classic swing setting with piano, double bass, and drums, he released the album "Nachtschwärmer" in 2021. With "Je wahrer die Liebe," an album with mostly new songs, was released in 2022. BO HEART (keyboard and vocals) has already proven his singer-songwriter qualities with two solo albums ("Invitation"/ WEA + "In my Arms"/LAMU Records - BMG Ariola). In December 2001, he entered the charts with his project "4 Your Soul" (including Edo Zanki, Xavier Naidoo). The German-Canadian is also considered one of the most renowned studio and live musicians in Germany, as evidenced by various projects with some well-known German rock and pop stars (including Xavier Naidoo, Sasha, HR Kunze, Edo Zanki, Vicky Leandros). He has also demonstrated his sensitive and musical creativity as a producer and arranger (including Klaus Lage, Vicky Leandros, Simone Solga, Stolle).
