from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dieter Klöcker (born April 13, 1936 in Wuppertal ; † May 21, 2011 in Kirchzarten ) was a German clarinetist and conductor .

Life

Klöcker studied with Karl Kroll and later with Jost Michaels at the Northwest German Music Academy in Detmold, where he was also a university laureate. He then worked for nine years as a solo clarinetist in many orchestras and has completed numerous productions as a soloist in radio and broadcasting companies, he has performed on concert tours in Europe and overseas.

He played clarinet concerts a. a. by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , Carl Maria von Weber , Louis Spohr , Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy , Bernhard Crusell as well as early romantic-classical works by Heinrich Ofen in concerts and for sound carrier recordings and discovered the music of forgotten composers such as Jan Václav Kněžek and Carl Andreas Göpfert (von which he recorded three clarinet concertos in 2008.)

From 1975 to 2001, he was a professor at the State University of Music in Freiburg . His successor in this position was Jörg Widmann . He worked as a music researcher, among other things, on Jewish music , was appointed to international master courses, seminars and symposia and was active as an editor. In decades of work, he has built up a chamber music archive that encompasses classical music from the 18th and 19th centuries and is also dedicated to rarely performed composers.

Klöcker was the founder (February 8, 1962) and head of the Consortium Classicum , with which he played many concerts and music festivals at home and abroad. He made recordings with EMI, cpo , Teldec , Columbia Records , Orfeo, MDG , Novalis and Koch-Schwann, among others . Many of them have been awarded prizes such as the German Record Prize , the 'Premio della Critica Discografica Italiana' and the Vienna Flute Clock . He had a long musical collaboration and friendship with the pianist Werner Genuit (1937–1997), whom he had known from childhood in Wuppertal.

Before his death, Klöcker began a biography; this remained unfinished. He died in Kirchzarten near Freiburg .

In his honor, the MDG label is posthumously issuing a box with 7 CDs that give an overview of his work.
