Music
The best kept secret in music
Press
"...The listener is instantly pushed head-long into a world full of sorrow, cruelty and true-to-life expression which can be as shocking as a moment of truth. Nevertheless the duo’s performance is full of magic, dreams and sensuality. Great power." (Berliner Zeitung)
- Berliner Zeitung
...No one dared to spoil the final chords of "Oblivion" by clapping. For some seconds the audience remained in breathtaking silence. Then the tension dissolved in thundering applause. Unforgettable. - Die Welt

Bio
CelloProject has equally gained enthusiastic acclaim among audiences and the press in important concert series throughout Europe such as Vienna Konzerthaus, WDR-Cologne and Musikhalle Hamburg as well as non-classical venues.
The loneliness of a sighing bandoneon, its aggressive chops or the warmth of the singing human voice are only some of many facettes of his cello's wide variety of sounds with which Eckart Runge undertakes a vivid excursion along a variety of programs, e.g. the musical history of Argentinian Tango or into the world of Cinema. In constant dialogue with his pianist Jacques Ammon, whose keys revive the sound of a whole orchestra, CelloProject lives for presenting classical music in a new exciting and communicative format.
Eckart Runge and Jacques Ammon have performed together and studied the various aspects of tango since more than ten years. In aknowledgement of this sincere dedication beyond the commercialized tango trend the duo performed in Buenos Aires in a memorial concert for Astor Piazzolla on invitation by the maestros widow, Laura Escalada de Piazzolla in 2003.
Their CDs have been recommended in major German music magazines (FonoForum) and National Newspapers (FAZ) alike.
