Simon & Garfunkel Tribute meets Classic – Duo Graceland mit Streichquartett
With songs like "Sound of Silence" and "Bridge over Troubled Water," the American duo Simon & Garfunkel created poetic anthems for an entire generation and solidified their place in music history with "The Boxer."
For some years now, the duo Graceland has intensely explored the musical spirit of their role models with "A Tribute to Simon and Garfunkel." Always with the necessary respect for the great compositions and the ambition to offer musically high-quality interpretations of Simon & Garfunkel's worldwide hits. For the two musicians from Bretten, it is particularly important: "We do not want to be a copy, not visually, nor vocally. We always stay close to the original, but also give the compositions our own touch."
And so, Thomas Wacker (Paul Simon) and Thorsten Gary (Art Garfunkel) impressively prove with their current project: The classics of arguably the most successful folk-rock duo in the world harmonize perfectly with the sound of a string ensemble. The interplay of the two voices and two guitars with the classical instruments turns the songs of Simon & Garfunkel into an extraordinary musical experience.
The number of concert visitors speaks for itself: for years, the two musicians have successfully toured Europe. Sometimes as a duo, sometimes with a classical string quartet, and a few times a year even with a 52-piece orchestra. During their concerts, they take their audience on an emotional journey with the gentle songs, but also rock out in other moments.
An evening with Graceland is therefore not only something for nostalgics who like to pull out their old records or CDs from the shelf. The timeless, good music of Simon & Garfunkel, interpreted by outstanding musicians with their own unique sound, appeals to music lovers of all ages.
