About Gottfried von der Goltz
Artist Biography
Violinist and conductor Gottfried von der Goltz has gained recognition as the leader of the Freiburger Barockorchester, an innovative historical-performance ensemble. He also performs widely as a violin soloist. At age 21, von der Goltz earned a violin chair in the NDR Symphony Orchestra, looking forward to a secure career with a solid German orchestra. Two years later, he relinquished that post in favor of the Baroque violin. That led to von der Goltz's leadership of the Freiburger Barockorchester, where he continues, with Kristian Bezuidenhout, to hold the post of artistic director. He has amassed a large catalog of recordings, beginning in 1994 with an album of works by Purcell and Handel. After a pandemic-time hiatus, von der Goltz and the Freiburger Barockorchester returned with the album Concerti all'Arrabbiata. In 2022, von der Goltz joined cellist Annekatrin Beller and harpsichordist Torsten Johann for a recording of violin sonatas by Bach.
