Life

As the son of the “operetta pope” Walter Goldschmidt (1917–1986), Goldschmidt grew up backstage and got to know artists such as Robert Stolz , Vico Torriani , Heinz Conrads and Peter Minich personally as a boy and was taught classical piano playing from the age of six , later also at the Johann-Joseph-Fux-Conservatory Graz . Early on, he became interested in reggae , jazz and popular music and Goldschmidt learned to play the accordion himself .

With the band Hans Moser Revival-Combo , founded in 1981, he began to deal with the Wienerlied while he was gaining his first experience as a bar pianist in Graz bars.

In 1985 he stayed in Columbus (Ohio) , where he studied jazz with Hank Marr and improvisation with Gary Carney at Ohio State University .

Back in Graz, he began to experiment with the then new sequencer music and realized, for example, the music for the world premiere of Peter Glaser's Osiris Legende at the Forum Stadtpark as part of the Styrian Autumn in 1988 under the direction of Christian Pölzl and Ernst M. Binder .

Resident in Vienna from 1989, Goldschmidt initially played the piano and accordion in a cabaret program by and with Leo Parthé .

He soon met the Ghanaian highlife interpreter Slim Young (1945–2002) and became a keyboardist in his band Sipisita , which led to long-term, formative and lasting collaboration with other African musicians.

In the summer of 1990, he and Peter Herrmann directed and accompanied the musical revue Wiener Lust with Hansi Lang in the Vienna Metropol . Various dialect theaters and Viennese song projects followed, such as Wien auf dem Zungenspitze with Ulli Bäer and Gerald Pichowetz , or with Adi Hirschal Samtorchester and then with Georg Danzer Liada for no reason . On the occasion of the Danube Festival in 1994 Goldschmidt accompanied Michaela Scheday as Lili Marilli under the direction of Herbert Gantschacher .

Under the direction of Markus Kupferblums , Goldschmidt played in 1997 in the Drachengasse theater with Stephan Kreiss .
