100 Years of Bert Kaempfert

Anniversary concert

Bert Kaempfert composed global hits such as »Strangers in the Night«, »Spanish Eyes«, »L.O.V.E.« and »Danke Schoen«. He discovered the Beatles and wrote songs for legends such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Al Martino, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Nat King Cole. To date, he has sold more than 150 million records. In 1993, he was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the first German to receive the honour. He wrote musical history – his easy-listening sound and compositions are still firm favourites in the international music scene to this day. The popular entertainer and musician Götz Alsmann leads through this evening and tells the extraordinary story of the Hamburg-born Bert Kaempfert.
