Wolfgang Ambros - Ambros Pur! - Vol. VII

What's it about?

Unplugged, acoustic, stripped down ... Ambros pur! has been consistently successful for over ten years. Full houses, a direct connection to the audience, songs reduced to their essence, and a Wolfgang Ambros who visibly enjoys this setup. "It's fun to play this way, and as you get older, you don't want it so loud anyway," he says. A classic Ambros pur statement. Just like the man, the artist, so are the songs and the show. Unvarnished, authentic, and now timeless. It is greatly to Wolfgang Ambros's credit that he doesn't try for a second to gloss over getting older. The rock 'n' roller who repeatedly filled the Wiener Stadthalle to bursting has become the singer-songwriter who now gives his songs a framework that only classics deserve. Wolfgang sits on a stool, talks, plays, sings. And it's simply wonderful to watch and listen to him. This is the sixth time Ambros has been on the road "pur." He started back then as a duo with his long-time friend, keyboardist Günter Dzikowski. Wolfgang on guitar, Günter on keys. For the past year and a half, they've been a trio. Roland "Roli" Vogl complements the arrangements with his guitar, bass, ukulele, and whatever else he plucks, strums, or bows on stage during the program. From the very first pur! gig, Ambros has drawn from his rich repertoire. Songs from 1971 up to current titles. A journey through time that doesn't feel like one for a second. Although some of the songs are pulled from over forty years ago, the age differences of the songs are not noticeable. Humorous, harmonious, melancholic, and wonderfully Austrian.
