Jacques Rotter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacques Rotter (born November 21, 1878 in Lemberg , Austria-Hungary ; † April 11, 1972 in Vienna ; also Jaques Rotter , Hans Rotter , Jack Rotter , Jakob (Jacques) Lauterstein , Jakob Lautterstein , Stefan Putzi-Plattner , C. Seidl ) was an Austrian tenor .

Life

Rotter was born Jakob Lautterstein on November 21, 1878 in Lemberg , Galicia , but grew up in Sopron, Hungary , and went to school in Vienna. There, in the choir of the Carl Theater , his singing career began before he was entrusted with smaller solo tasks. After a performance as a lyric tenor, where he was very successful, he went on tour: in 1911 he sang in Budapest, in 1912 in Dresden.

The First World War interrupted Rotters artistic career; he had to enlist and could only continue his way as an entertainment singer after completing his military service.

After engagements at various theaters, Samuel Schöngut brought him to his “Etablissement Ronacher ”, a large Viennese variety theater , in 1922 . In 1924 he sang in the Mary-Bar, Vienna 1, Johannesgasse 37. In 1928 'the popular Viennese song singer' made a guest appearance together with the soubrette Charlotte Waldow in the Café Sachergarten, Helenental .

In addition, he successfully tried his hand as an entrepreneur in the catering trade: he opened a restaurant at Elisabethstrasse 4 in Vienna, which he ran until 1929. In that year he opened his “Rotter Opern-Bar” in Goldschmiedgasse 7, which was to become a meeting place for prominent artists in Vienna. From Robert Stolz to Richard Tauber to Joséphine Baker , they all frequented the exclusive entertainment venue, where the boss himself sang.

After Hitler's troops marched into Austria in 1938, Rotter fled to Paris before the persecution of politically and racially undesirable people, which was now intensifying. Together with colleagues who had also fled, such as Oskar Karlweis and Karl Farkas , he performed there in the cabaret of the noble restaurant “L'Impératrice”, which also became a meeting point for artists, but this time for the emigrants who fled to France from Austria and the “Reich”. On January 10, 1943, he was arrested by the Gestapo in Lyon and held until January 18. From January 19 to November 15, 1943, he was imprisoned in a labor camp near Lyon. He was only able to flee with a comrade on November 16.

He survived the occupation of France by the German Wehrmacht, submerged, in hiding. After two months he managed to go back to Paris with forged papers, where he waited for the liberation. He was only able to return to Vienna in the spring of 1946.

There he took over his restaurant again, which had been continued by his wife and daughter. His guests now included American, British, French and Russian officers instead of the Viennese operetta celebrities. But now his singing appearances are becoming increasingly rare.

Rotter is gradually withdrawing from the show business for reasons of age. He died on April 11, 1972 in Vienna.

Jacques Rotter enjoyed great popularity in the German-speaking world in the first half of the 20th century. This was due to his versatility, because he sang light classical vocal pieces, songs from operettas and cabaret, folk music as well as Viennese songs and current daily hits.

He was able to fall back on first-rate lyricists for hits and cabaret songs: Fritz Loewy / Loehner alias Beda , Peter Herz , Hermann Leopoldi , Arthur Rebner , Willy Rosen , Fritz Rotter and Theodor Waldau alias Wauwau.

A particular specialty of Rotter were his erotic chansons, in which he hit a very personal, intimate note accompanied only by piano or piano and violin.

The up-and-coming record industry could of course use such a versatile singer, which is why Rotter developed into one of the busiest and most successful artists of this new medium in Austria. As early as 1912, in addition to his traditional, European-influenced repertoire, he also ventured into new, American forms of music. B. Ragtime songs like Max Hoffmann's "Zamona" on the gramophone record.

Rotter was probably not contractually bound to a specific company. 78 rpm shellac recordings of him have been handed down on a wide variety of labels : on Favorite, Zonophone and Columbia until around the mid-1920s, then at Gramophone / HMV and their German and Austrian subsidiaries Electrola and Gramola, at Ultraphon and at the Lindström brands Odeon and Parlophon / Beka. Even after 1930 he could be heard on smaller brands such as the Austrian flexible plate Novaphon. Pressings of HMV dies on American “Victor” plates even carried his fame overseas.

When Anton Zilzer was not accompanying him solo on the piano or, together with Dol Dauber , violin, or Isy Geiger, violin, Rotter appeared with almost all of the orchestras that were well-known in Austria and Germany at the time: recordings with the Erwin Buchbinder orchestra at Odeon are documented , with Dol Dauber and his jazz and dance orchestra on HMV, with Paul Godwin and his jazz symphonists and the jazz orchestra Ernst Holzer on Polydor, with the “Polydor” salon orchestra, with Ilja Livschakoff and his orchestra, too at Polydor, and the Frank Fox Orchestra at Columbia.

Despite his earlier popularity, relatively little is known about his life today.

  15. ↑ cf. Hirschenberger 2006 The tenor Jacques Rotter (* Lemberg 1878; † Vienna 1972) was undoubtedly one of the most popular Austrian singing stars on early records.

The recording exploits pretty much everything that apparently served the fashionable clichés of the time excellently ... Rotters unmistakable vocal pathos sounds here in perfect harmony with the romanticizing lines of this season's hit: “Far from here, far in the tropics, under palm trees there on the beach, where from Culture not yet known, once a girl lived tenderly ... a white man was so new to her ... «etc. etc. Songs like" Zamona "today lead in a certain way to recognize a kind of Central European counterpart to the US American Coon songs, even if such comparisons should always be made with some caution.
