Bert Kaempfert live at the Royal Albert Hall (22.04.1974 - part 1/4) 

Thank you Germany for Bert Kaempfert - you produced a C20th musical genius to complement your great classical ones. God bless, from a British guy.

Schade, dass es Diesen Orchester Chef nicht mehr gibt. Ich liebe seine Musik.

The sad and untimely passing of Bert Kaempfert left a big void in the world of music. He is not easily forgotten and we are the less without him. This recording befits our memories of him and his musical genius.

I never realized that Bert and his orchestra didn't tour until this performance. I'm a huge fan but admit I arrived late to the party and became a Bert Kaempfert fan about four years ago when my musical tastes started to change and I learned to appreciate Bert's great music. I'm very grateful for this video.

The music from my childhood....50 years later, I really appreciate it for its beauty. There are just so many qualities if you break this music down. The swingin' feel, the trade-off between the horns, the rhythm section, drummer Rolf Aherns plays the brushes with such finesse and feeling. He is a big part of that signature BK sound. Oh my, so much good to say.......also such a blend of sounds, 6 vocalists, 3 rhythm guitars, strings, horns a large woodwind section, who else does that? OMG so glad I found this video!

This is Great! A dream to see this music live and hear the brilliant trumpet soloist!

Im 34 and i discovered Mr Kaempfert when I was 23 when I heard Hold Back The Dawn. I am forever grateful. So sad hes been gone 40 years 😢

Bert kaempfert e sua orquestra estão em meu coração.

R.I.P. Mr,kaempfert [1923-1980] good life music is forever!!

I believe that if Bert, with his Orchestra were alive, I guarantee that he would be enchanted by the various technological resources that we have today. Of course at the time he did his songs, he produced splendidly. Bert Kaempfert, the best of all time.

Ack van Rooyen brilhant on the Flughorn!! Magnific solist

Berts music and his orchestra are simply subperb. Very relaxing to listen too. It brings back a lot of good memories when I was younger.

Bert Kaempfert, you feed my soul with your music. RIP.

the man that did not want to produce the Beatles, a Genius. L.O.V.E.

I loved his music for 50 years now ❗ 👍 👌🎶

You will make thousands and thousands of music fans super happy with this (these) upload(s) Frank ! The 1974 concert was just superb and the word "historical" is right at its place here, as it was the first time ever that Bert appeared on stage in Europe. Besides the top soloists true Kaempfert fans will also recognize the Botho Lucas Choir - another fine ingredient of the BK Sound. Can't wait to see the second part Frank ! Congratulations from another life long Kaempfert fan ;-) !!

Im 66. In the early dixties we had a kiddie show The Sandy Becker show. THIS WAS HIS THEME SONG. MEMORIES

This brings back a lot of memories. Black and white TV and only a few stations. Watching German TV in the south part of Holland. Baert Kempfert and his orchestra and then all of a sudden Ack van Rooyen on the right siide of the stage, high above the orchestra, playing his bugle. Those were the days... Not of wine and roses, but still. So much has changed since. Ack van Rooyen still playing. Search RU-vid for "Round Midnight", Ack with Paul Kuhn. What a musician. Thank you for uploading this.

Bei diesem Konzert war ich in der Albert Hall 1974. Es war grandios dieses Konzert zu genießen.Danke für diese Einstellung. Ich bin total happy.

What can one say other than those were the Kings and Masters of music! So devine and pure.

blast from the GREAT past ! What years they were!!

I love the vocals (along with orchestra) in that Happy Feeling, 8:38 onwards. Just incredible and so beautiful. Far better than the studio versions I think.

fantastic music!!! ...I remember the old days listening the radio together my dad ...

QUE MARAVILLOSO..QUE NOSTALGIA TAN GRANDE !!!! AL RECORDAR !!!! TAN INDESCRIPTIBLE MELODÍA !!!! VIAJO..VIAJO..EN EL TIEMPO..A MI NIÑEZ..CUANDO MI MADRE SE DELEITABA ESCUCHANDO A BERT KAEMPFERT...GENIO DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS...NUNCA MORIRÁ SU MÚSICA..A UNIDO GENERACIONES..PLACER A LOS OÍDOS...EXCELENTE...GRANDE...GRANDE...MAESTRO.!!!!!

Oh wow. A WHOLE Bert Kaempfert concert to listen to / watch plus interviews, this is heaven to me. Many many thanks for uploading this xx

The four B's: Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Bert

My first stereo record in 1962 was that happy feeling

Strangers in The Night.................................................THAT is the sound that epitomises the wonderful Mr Kaempfert and his ullustrious orchestra and singers..........................

Can’t believe Bert gone now for 40 years or so as this music is just superb.

Bye Bye Blues - from same name LP (1966), A Song For Satch - from LP "6 Plus 6" (1972), That Happy Feeling - from LP "A Swingin' Safari" (1962), Strangers In The Night - from same name LP (1966).

Wonderful music

Su música he interpretación, es maravillosa. Gracias.

I just discovered this - finally! I agree with everyone below that this was a truly Historic performance. And Bert talks in English, too. Thank you, fdeckers2003, you have made a lot of people happy!

Bert Kaunfert y su orquesta fueron inolvidables en mucha de sus interpretaciones, sobre todo en ésta: Strangers in the night.

I wish i could be there, at that place, the same time, and listning to that uplifting noise. but when they acctually made that noise i was just ten years old.

Ladi Geisler, master !. His solo albums are great too.

Kann ihn immer wieder hören.

ESTA SI ES UNA ESPECTACULAR ORQUESTA CON SU INCONFUNDIBLE ESTILO, LA PERFECCIÓN MUSICAL EN ESTA BIG BAND SI EXISTIÓ, ALEMANIA DEBE ESTAR ORGULLOSA

A great performance from a great man. Thanks for sharing, Frank.

I would like to echo all the other people who commented. This is a truly wonderful post (all of them). Thank you very much.

I like what Bert Kaempfert said,I can not talk well so Let's make good music! A few Words.that mean A LOT!

Kaempfert forever 😘

SOY UN ASIDUO CONOCEDOR DE ORQUESTAS DEL MUNDO SOBRE TODO INDIVIDUALIZO LOS SONIDOS DE TODAS LAS ORQUESTAS ,PERO BERT KAEMPFERT ES UNO DE LOS ARREGLADORES CON MAS PERFECTO SONIDO ENTRE VIENTOS Y CUERDAS ,Y DIGO "EL MEJOR"DE TODOS,EQUILIBRIO PERFECTO EN SU SONIDO. ESTEBAN OJEDA VERA CHILE.

HERMOSA MÚSICA, GENIAL DIRECTOR Y GRAN ORQUESTA

How you got this concert is amazing from 1974, WOW !

I too want to echo what everyone else has said. I remember watching this on the BBC first time round and making a crude attempt to record it with mono cassette recorder and microphone! Been looking for this for years!

When music had Class, Used to listen to Easy Listening on WGAY 99.1FM in the Washington DC area.

It's great just to hear Bert speaking in English! I wonder if any of his old fishing buddies from the Everglades are seeing this. We love you Bert, long live Bert Kaempfert!

Thank you so much for posting this. I will be downloading all of it and making into one complete video.

If i hear this one more time i'm hooked.

Looks like Bert enjoyed himself. I know I sure did. Danke, Bert.

ESPECIALÍSSIMO !!!!!! Precioso vídeo !!!!!!!!!!!

SEMPRE CLASSE AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Yes my friend, Stan Sultzman on the flute, but not the Guy with Glasses.

Bert Kaempfert is still the Master of His Own.There is No other Performance beside him.

So manchen Musiker fand man später bei James Last wieder.

So beautiful. Today. 2024, we have trash. And the Grammy Awards catervto trash, pure, simple, logical.

Thanks so much for posting this!

Bloody brilliant!

…I’m seeing many familiar faces from the James Last Orchestra here. Bob Lanese, Gunter Platzek…a a couple others I think too.

Thomas Blair you right, but you forgot Beatles, they were at germany at the beginning.

Lindo lindo ❤💜💙

I only can agree to FrankWms - The music from BK is a world heritage as lika as Mozart or Schubert - only in a modern version and more easy to enjoy. Thanks fdeckers2003

Trumpeter Bob Lanese was making part of the orchestra

What a work-out that flugelhorn player got.

When you danced - you could talk and come closer !!

werry well

❤️

Замечательная музыка

Отлично!

Fabulous! Waited a long time for this to appear. Thank you.

Miss Fred Moch in it,,,.but still wonderful!...

Alguien sabe los nombre de los músicos de la orquesta? Sólo conozco a Ladi Geisler. Does someone know the names of the musicians?

Thank you Frank..I recognize Ack van Rooyen and Bob Lanese but is it realy Stan Sultzman on the flute?

Is there Peter Herbolzheimer in the trombone-section?

Who is the violinist with the grey hair. He seems to be really getting into it during that happy feeling.

稀有 真貴
