Wolfgang Ambros
The Austrian musician and composer Wolfgang Ambros was born in Pressbaum, Lower Austria (Niederösterreich) in 1952. Best known for his popular tunes sung in Austrian dialect, Ambros has also been active in other art forms, including radio plays (Hörspiele), theater, and films. His 1971 debut single ("Da Hofa") went to number one on the Austrian charts. The 1976 hit anthem to skiing, "Schifoan" (Skifahren), may be his most popular song of all time in ski-crazy Austria. In 1978 he released his tribute album to Bob Dylan ("Wie im Schlaf") with Dylan songs such as "Forever Young" (Für immer jung) or "Like A Rolling Stone" ("Allan wie a Stan") sung in Viennese dialect.
Ambros has also worked with the team of Manfred Tauchen and Joesi Prokopetz. Together they produced the highly successful comically satiric musical "Alpendrama" album entitled "Der Watzmann ruft" (1974). To date the "Watzmann" album has sold over 250,000 copies and there have been several live revival performances of "Der Watzmann ruft", the latest in 2005. In April 2002 Wolfgang Ambros was awarded "Das Goldene Ehrenzeichen für Verdienste um das Land Wien," an honorary prize for his "services to the province of Vienna." Ambros has two primary residences, one in Greece, the other in his home province of Lower Austria.
