Good Choice: The Federal Bureau of Culture honors Stefan Escher for his life work. Who else could be happy?
Stefan Escher will probably never forget this moment in his career. It is on the Olympia Theater in Paris, the French chanson temple par excellence. Rarely are Swiss musicians allowed to play there.
But it’s getting better a lot Escher sings his gypsy jazz version of Mane Mater’s “Hemmige” and sings the whole hall in German Bern – and that’s in Paris.
A fast-changing celebrity artist
The career of a Münchenbuchsee-born musician can hardly be summed up better. Eicher is constantly exploring boundaries and also jumping over them. Always in the context of rock and pop, but with great curiosity.
Once he performed solo with the machines. Then there is Bernays’ brass band album “Traktorkestar”, at which point he quickly turns back into a folk singer-songwriter with acoustic guitar.
Stefan Escher is a musician in many forms, with literary and artistic aspirations beyond his ancestral lands, and almost symbolically represents Switzerland as a multilingual singer.
