At this concert, the singers were able to demonstrate their skills and captivate the audience with their joy and vocal precision.

Udo Jürgens: An everlasting legacy

The singer himself, Udo Jürgens, has long since become a legend. His musical work includes over 1,000 songs, many of which, such as “Merci, Chérie”, “Greek Wine” and “At 66 Years”, have found a permanent place in people's hearts over the years.
