History

The two artists with which Stockfisch Records started out in 1974 were Werner Lämmerhirt and David Qualey.[1] They as guitar-playing singer-songwriters set the tone for many of their kind to come. Over the years, however, other instrumentalists apart from guitarists signed to Stockfisch.

In 2001, Pauler managed to get the "Queen of Audiophile" Sara K. to sign to Stockfisch Records after her contract with Chesky Records had expired. Sara K. mentions that she was convinced to sign after Pauler had gotten Chris Jones as accompaniment and sent her a fair but unheard of one-page record contract.[2] The live album Live in Concert (2003) which resulted from her 2002 Bowers & Wilkins-sponsored "Nautilus" tour was chosen as the best audophile CD of 2003 by the readers of the German magazine AUDIO/stereoplay and received their Hifi Music Award 2003.[3]
