BIOGRAPHY
Leon Ives (pseudonym of Wolfgang Tiepold) was educated as a cellist - and in that capacity, he worked with German electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze. Ives specialised in recording pop music with symphonic orchestra arrangements. He conducted the Munich Philharmonic for an album with ABBA repertoire and recorded ‘Sing Moody Blues’ in 2003 with Justin Hayward and the Frankfurt Rock Orchestra.
Sources around Klaus Schulze confirm that Wolfgang Tiepold must have passed away before 2020, but no further reliable information has since been found.
EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
Leon Ives arranged and conducted the 1992 Austrian entry, ‘Zusammen geh’n’, a classical Eurovision ballad, composed by Dieter Bohlen and performed by Tony Wegas. The orchestration includes an unusual yet original cello solo at the beginning of the song. Austria finished tenth in a field of 23 competing countries in that year's contest in Malmö.
