Biography

Hans-Joachim Rotzsch, born on April 25, 1929 in Leipzig, Germany, was a singer, choirmaster, and university professor. He studied church music at the Leipzig Academy of Music from 1949 and began his career as an oratorio tenor, joining the Leipzig Bach Soloists. Notable albums include "Schweigt Stille, Plaudert Nicht" Coffee Cantata BWV 211- "Mer Hahn En Neue Oberkeet" Cantata En Burlesque (The PeasantÂ´s Cantata), BWV 212 (1963) and Symphoniae Sacrae (2. Folge) (1970). In 1972, he became Thomaskantor, succeeding Erhard Mauersberger. He was awarded the Art Prize of the GDR in 1967 and the National Prize of the GDR for Art and Literature in 1976. Hans-Joachim Rotzsch stepped down from his position as Thomaskantor in 1991 due to controversy over his involvement with the Stasi. He served as a guest professor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg until 2000. He passed away on September 25, 2013, in Leipzig.
