Udo Jürgens moved generations with his songs – musically, emotionally and socially. Titles such as »Griechischer Wein« (Greek Wine), »Mit 66 Jahren« (At 66) and »Ein ehrenwertes Haus« (An Honourable House) have long been part of our collective memory. But they are more than just pop songs: they tell stories, address social issues and combine entertainment with attitude. Gunnar Schmidt interprets these classics with his powerful voice and keen sense for the depth behind the catchy tunes. Munich composer Enrique Ugarte has arranged selected songs and given them a symphonic soundscape that impressively amplifies the emotional power of the music. An evening full of memories, surprises and musical elegance – a tribute to the life's work of an exceptional artist.
