Amour Fou
Tango à trois
Recorded at Farao Studios Munich, 2008
CD
Tango à trois - Tangos by Peter Ludwig
After their successful debut CD Café Banlieue, the trio Tango à trois starts into the second round, full of passion and highly concentrated, with expressiveness and sensuality. The result is the album Amour fou.Peter Ludwig is obsessed with tango. He is relentlessly searching for familiar and exotic sounds. After over three decades of tango passion, he is still full of creative ideas, keeps finding fresh forms of expression and always gives his works an illustrative character. His great enthusiasm for performing with his two partners is directly transmitted to the audience.
Arben Spahiu has tango in his veins. He plays like somebody who has grown up with tango.
Peter Wöpke knows how to shine with his cello’s versatility. The three artists inspire each other and present their music with great seriousness and even greater enthusiasm.
The latest CD fascinates with features such as different rhythms, foreign influences apart from the tango, jazzy ballads, dreamy, nostalgic music, in reminiscence of the Viennese melancholy and Parisian world-weariness. There’s always a hint of South America. A kaleidoscope of sound telling stories about life, lust and blazing passion, about tears and laughter.
BERLIN is dedicated to Peter Wöpke.

Press review

... Ludwig’s tango style is modern and seems one step away from the Argentinean original; there is a European influence here which adds an extra dimension to the music. The trio performs with a sense of enjoyment and real flair. The playing is excellent throughout, and there is an strong sense of ensemble, as though this is one performer with three instrumental colours. The music itself is highly enjoyable and refreshing. There is a feeling that these musicians have created quality music which they care deeply about, but that they don’t take themselves too seriously. This is not stuffy concert hall music; this is music to be experienced and enjoyed by the man in the street, ideally to be stumbled upon and then remembered. It does not over-intellectualize or over-sentimentalize; the balance is just right between the carefully considered compositional process and the enjoyment of its presentation. There is a warmth in the ensemble’s sound that I will remember for some time.Carla Rees, 2009
