Who is Manfred Leuchter? Even by his own definition it's difficult to say.
Born in 1960, he started playing professionally during the 1980s, when he recorded and performed live with Ina Deter, among others. At the same time he worked as a session musician in Hamburg and spent 15 years as producer, composer and arranger in his own studio as well as writing music for the theatre and designing sound installations. Singer-songwriter Reinhard Mey has relied on his talents for many years to produce his CDs. Manfred Leuchter has developed a uniquely personal style. "Sparito", the debut album by the accordionist who has produced and arranged for so many other artists, really made the industry sit up and take notice when it was released in 2000.Being a perfectionist, he works with the most accomplished musicians he can find. A worldwide traveller who longs to be at home somewhere, he is fascinated by the city of Marrakesh, he has fallen in love with the Arabian nights and heat soaked days, its wise old story tellers and snake charmers.
Manfred Leuchter entwickelt einen Stil, der nur ihm gehört: "sparito", das Debüt-Album des Akkordeonisten, der für andere so viel produziert und arrangiert, ließ die Branche 2000 erstaunt aufhorchen.
