In 1967 he founded a jazz group, which still exists today as Günther Fischer Band. Concert tours have taken the ensemble including through Europe, Asia and Africa. From 1969 to 1970, Armin Mueller-Stahl was a member of the band.
His compositions are stylistically diverse, ranging from funk and soul-jazz, beat and rock to Song Broken what continues in his later film music. He wrote, among other things, the film music for “Schöner Gigolo, armer Gigolo” (Federal Republic of Germany 1978) and “Didi und die Rache der Enterbten” (Federal Republic of Germany 1985). Even after unification, he wrote many film scores, such as for the TV series ‘Unser Lehrer Doktor Specht’, ‘Unser Lehrer Doktor Specht’, ‘Für alle Fälle Stefanie’, ‘Familie Dr. Kleist’.
Fischer composed the scores for three Euro-westerns: “Tecumseh” (1972), “Death for Zapata” (1976) and “Severino” (1977).
Since 1997 Günther Fischer lives in Cork, Ireland and is the father of Laura Fischer, who is herself a singer in the band Laura Fischer & Band and with whom he occasionally appears.
Today we celebrate Günther Fischer’s 70th birthday.
