Klaus Lage & Bo Heart - ZU ZWEIT. LIVE.

Description

KLAUS LAGE presents - together with his long-time 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 at 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's name are also on the setlist. BO HEART at the piano sets the songs in scene 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, to which KLAUS LAGE is a pioneer, because BO "Boogie" HEART, an expert in groove & musicality, repeatedly drives the audience out of their seats. Biographical: KLAUS LAGE was born on June 16, 1950, in Soltau. Stages: training as a merchant, relocation to Berlin in the early 70s, retraining as an educator, later a 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 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" (released 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 1994 album "Katz und Maus"). Above all, through his countless concerts and tours, where he repeatedly proves what a magnificent singer and captivating live performer he is. In the musical "Stars," KLAUS LAGE played the title role between November 1995 and autumn 1996. The performances at the Theater Nordhausen have been sold out since 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 translated and interpreted 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, carefully selected by the artist himself, and the highly praised work "nah & wichtig," recorded with his new band. In 2011, he released two albums within a year: in spring, the band production "Der Moment," and in autumn, 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 of releasing his songs in big band arrangements with the CD "Das Big Band Projekt." Recorded in a classic swing ensemble 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). As a producer and arranger, he has also demonstrated his sensitive and musical creativity. (including Klaus Lage, Vicky Leandros, Simone Solga, Stolle).
