Dominique Horwitz interprets Jacques Brel

It was the second time my wife and I saw Dominique Horwitz making Chanson songs with a band. Some years ago he was singing songs of Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weil at the "Kesselhaus/Kulturbrauerei.
And this time he was at the Tipi-Tent near the Chancelor-Administration. We found some good places to sit and could order something to drink and eat before the show began.
When Horwitz entered the stage together with his band (piana, guitar, drums, contra-bass and accordeon) the audience became absolute quit and they could recognize the presence of Horwitz from the first moment. The theme of this tour were songs of Jacques Brel - every song was in french - so as a native french man he is - it was wonderful to hear him sing. In between the songs he was explaining in german lyric phrases what the next song is about to be.
There was a short break where we could order some more to drink.
The whole show was 2 hours long. They were doin 3 songs in the first encore. At the second encore the band was coming out and they started to play "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin. It took a very long time because Dominique asked every workers there to come on stage to get some applause. He had a list and every worker was asked to come out behind the stage curtain.
After the show he was signing CDs and was willing to let photos to be shoot.
It was a wonderful evening with my wife who gave me this event as a birthday-present.
