Gottfried R. Cervenka (29 August 1947 – 15 December 2015) was an Austrian radio presenter.

Already in the Bundesrealgymnasium Vereinsgasse in Leopoldstadt his interest for music was aroused, because the then music professor Hans Zimmerl was able to inspire the students with his special enthusiasm and passionate love for this genre.

In designing the programmes, he was able to draw on his own music collection, comprising some 40,000 recordings.

With his programmes he also succeeded in arousing the interest of a broad audience for artists largely unknown in Austria such as Gert Lutze.

[5] Cervenka was married and had a son, whom he named after the tenor Lauritz Melchior.
