Ratzer | Herbert | eXtracello
One does not need to say many words about Karl Ratzer – the Viennese guitarist has been among the absolute elite for decades, just like composer and double bassist Peter Herbert, who is one of the most sought-after and competent musicians in Austria. Together with Margarethe Herbert's eXtracello, the “most extravagant outsiders in string quartet playing” – an extraordinary formation takes the stage.
In this program, baroque classical music meets funk, standards, and above all, the compositions of Ratzer, who reflects the great themes of life in his unparalleled musical language, moving with dreamlike certainty between heaven and earth.
It is highly uplifting to experience such seasoned veterans as Karl Ratzer and Peter Herbert in soulful, almost youthful interaction between man and woman, serious and popular music, modern classical music and jazz. “And those who have heard Karl Ratzer sing ballads understand what intuitive knowledge of the right tone in jazz can be” (Ljubisa Tosic, “Der Standard)
