“Boogie-Woogie meets Ragtime” on 2 pianos
The duo Böttger/Zwingenberger presents two ways to play the piano: matured over a century, and nevertheless eternally youthful. Rolling rhythms, swinging bass lines, melodies full of joie de vivre and longing – an unmistakable duo, that leads the field in this style of music. Axel Zwingenberger, master of boogie-woogie, has played during the course of his career more than 3000 performances in more than 40 countries and in nearly all of the great concert halls in the world, including the Carnegie hall in New York, the Konzerthaus in Vienna and the Hamburg Opera. His solo albums are recognised today as valuable testaments of the combination of black and white, young and old, experience and enthusiasm – and furthermore records of the history of boogie-woogie. Kings of the Keys with Boogie and Ragtime – concert sold-out for many months (…). Cheering and standing ovations for many minutes. The Musikhalle was bowled over. Die Welt It was as everyone had stopped breathing in case they missed a note or a nuance of the breathtaking performance by the musicians of international repute, Gottfried Böttger and Axel Zwingenberger. An intoxicating mix of talent and technique (…). Pune Times of India
