Rupert Schöttle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rupert Schöttle (* 1957 in Mannheim ) is a German cellist and author .

Life

After studying the cello in Salzburg and Vienna, Schöttle worked for 30 years as a freelancer with the orchestra of the Vienna State Opera and the Vienna Philharmonic , as well as a founding member of the World Orchestra for Peace at the invitation of Georg Solti in 1995 . He also studied music sociology at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna .

At the suggestion of the publisher Hubertus Czernin, Schöttle's thesis resulted in his first book Götter im Frack (2000). Several collections of anecdotes and crime novels followed in the following years ; the latter was published by Gmeiner Verlag in Messkirch . Schöttle's Chamber Concerts (with Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, Lidia Baich, Mario Gheorgiu, Christian Frohn, Marialena Fernandes, Ruzha Semova and Catalina Butcaru, among others) are usually designed as “talk concerts”, in which the works are brought closer to the audience with humorous explanations. Schöttle is also a popular keynote speaker.

Helmut A. Gansterer described Schöttle in 2009 as an "unofficial Nobel Prize winner for musicians' anecdotes". His musical city ​​guide about Vienna ( Here sounds Vienna. The musical side of the Danube metropolis ) was positively discussed in Die Presse and Das Orchester .
