"A listening pleasure not only for die-hard jazz fans but for everyone who loves music." (Thomas Quasthoff) "Dieter Ilg's music is true relaxation for me that doesn't fit into any category. For me, it's freedom music. With Beethoven, the wonderful trio with Rainer Böhm and Patrice Heral offers me a menu that embraces me and carries me forward. Dieter Ilg's new CD is called 'Mein Beethoven.' It's not, but it was his music, and now it's mine." (Vincent Klink, Michelin-starred chef and jazz musician)

Dieter Ilg

The German jazz bassist is known for his virtuoso playing technique and his cross-genre projects. He has made a name for himself internationally by translating classical works by Beethoven and Verdi into the language of jazz in an innovative way. His trio projects in particular, in which he reinterprets classics of music history, have been highly praised by critics. Dieter Ilg is regarded as one of Europe's leading jazz bassists and has left his mark on contemporary jazz with his unique style.
