Ralf Kothe – Guitar-Ballads I & II
Ralf Kothe studied music in East Berlin, graduated as a music teacher for guitar and composition, is a sought-after studio musician as well as composer and editor of numerous film scores and advertising trailers. In 1987 Ralf Kothe released his first instrumental album “Regendurst (Gitarrenballaden I)” on the state-run GDR label Amiga, followed by his second Amiga production “Die Andere Seite (Gitarrenballaden II)” shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. With “Windzauber” a third album was released in 1994 on Kothe’s own label. After that, the accomplished guitarist devoted himself almost exclusively to his guitar students and gave a few more live concerts on request. From November, the two guitar ballads are available again, as a CD in a double pack with plenty of bonus material as well as detailed liner notes on the artistic life of Ralf Kothe. Just the right thing to bring light into gloomy November days.
