Two German improvisers

[acc]

Two improvisations by Dirk Elsemann in Dudelange, Luxemburg:

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLrggZvOCag&fmt=18

A highly virtuoso performance, in a style that reminds me somewhat of Wolfgang Seifen (arguably Germany's best improviser of today).

An improvisation on O Traurigkeit, o Herzeleid by Sebastian Küchler-Blessing in Herford, Germany:

• Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNLCMoTGeG4
• Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYPX12WkHiA

There may not be as many notes as in Elsemann's improvisation, but I have never heard a “German romantic” improvisation as stylistically convincing as this one.
