“Iconic and distinguished - Ludwig Albert is unmistakably an icon in the international marimba world. With his own marimba competition, worldwide masterclasses and his self-developed 'eight-mallet grip, he has influenced many young players in an particular way.”

“Dr. Albert is a pioneer, leading the way in establishing the foundations of expressive sound production and laying the groundwork for a strong pedagogy of percussion playing. Hearing the advanced lyrical and beautiful musical expression, the best I have heard in my 50-year career."

Lisa Rogers, Percussive notes
“Albert’s motivation for this CD was to increase awareness of the beautiful nuances available on a marimba. He succeeds in giving the listener a view of the marimba’s prowess as a lyrical instrument and diminishing its reputation as only a “novelty instrument."
USA, 2001
Mark Ford – President Percussive Arts Society USA
“Ludwig Albert has established a tradition of excellence in advancing the art of marimba performance."

Fabian Vidal
“Regarding the Belgian Ludwig Albert, it is important to point out that he is considered being one of the superb avant-garde marimbists and belongs to the world summit in the execution of the instrument. He is also recognized for his extensive contributions in the dissemination of the marimba by including visual effects and decorations. Wonderful evening enjoyed by those attending the recital."
MX, 2010
“A big world name of the marimba was presented, the Belgian Ludwig Albert, who can play with 4 baguettes in one hand."

"Mr. Ludwig’s lyrical marimba approach is very unique and I expect many listeners will enjoy his recordings."
JP, 2006
Aliona Bolkvadze
“Marimba & strings, ice and flame – extremes can contradict and sometimes can complement each other. Coming out of these ideas, Ludwig Albert formed a program thinking that precision of “Flemish marimbas” will balance the endless lyricism of the chamber orchestra, bringing these extremes to a consensus. You have to be a very famous and respected musician in the world in order to have companies produce a marimba and mallets with your signature. Companies compete and musicians collaborate. Novosibirsk was lucky to listen to the tandem of this famous marimba player three times. And every time we leave the concert hall, we say to ourselves: «A striking program»! "
2015
Santa Fe
“Final concert of the Santa Fe Marimba Festival. Not to be missed marimba virtuoso Ludwig Albert - European super star. Never before in Santa Fe has there been a concert like this featuring stellar international marimbist performing music rarely heard anywhere."
USA, 2012
Jim Lambert
“I am very impressed with the overall excellence and superb musicianship of Ludwig Albert, which comes through on this CD. Albert's marimba sounds very warm and even throughout its registers on this CD. Albert is a rising start among marimba performers worldwide- particularly those who perform with 6 or 8 mallets."
USA, 2003
John R. Raush
”Albert's improvisations validate the importance of the artistic stimulation that can result when imaginative musicians draw inspiration from a rich musical heritage."
USA 2003
Knack weekend magazine BE
“You will be ready for a discovery to the most surprising variegation of sound and rhythm. This is music of the highest quality."
