Marlena would tell you that she wanted to go to america any way.She wanted to be an international star.Remember after the war Brigitte Horney went to the united states for a while.Possibly to get away from memories of what the nazis done beside opening her mothers psychiatric clinic. Karen Horney

Marvelous sound! Thank you for this.

this is a very nice treat. What I was actually looking for was a Cold War era rock'n'roll song by the same title, but I found this, and do like it

Nagyon Örülök, hogy megtaláltam ezt a nagyszerű Ábrahám Pál felvételt.Köszönet érte.

charming ...

[pianolasociety]

it's very nice to hear Oscar Denes sing this original version! I have the Columbia London recording in English with Denes and Barbara Diu. The orchestra for the recording is the Debroy Somers Band with a different much more crazy orchestration. Crazy is the only word for it. Nice-crazy!

I hate the Nazis for the great harm they caused to German culture. We lost legendary artists like Marlene Dietrich, Douglas Sirk, Peter Lorre etc. not to mention composers like Abraham, Jurman, Kalman... Thank God, their memory is preserved!

Und - was willst du damit sagen?

Was hat das mit Lizzy Waldmüller zu tun?

Sie starb bei einem amerikanischen Terrorangriff auf Wien im April 1945.

Außerdem hatte Deutschland in den 30er Jahren so gute Schauspieler, daß die von dir aufgeführten Namen verblasst waren.

Also, immer schön beim Thema bleiben - Musik zu Musik und Geschichte zu Geschichte

[ToteFestplatte]

Tolles Lied--- Ich hatte mal gelesen, Lizzy Waldmüller wäre an einer Lungenentzündung 1945 verstorben. Ich liebe den Film: "Es lebe die Liebe". Schade, das er nicht im TV kommt.

Lizzi Waldmüller kam bei einem Fliegerangriff auf Wien am 8. April 1945 ums Leben, genau einen Monat vor Kriegsende.

Sadly jewish coposer Paul Abraham had to flead the nazis pennieles, to USA where he died in an assylium. so the singer and the composer perished in WWII

[saltburner]

Wikipedia tells us that Abraham died in Hamburg on 6 May 1960. See my liner note in the new Tauber CD from Dutton 'Pardon, Madame'. When Viktoria und ihr Husar transferred to London in 1932, Oscar Denes was still in the cast, but Lizzi was replaced by Barbara Diu - they recorded the comedy duets in English for Columbia - their 'Mausi' is even more manic than the German version.

[jozefsterkens]

well in fact they transferred him from a american mental home to a mental home in Hamburg where he died in 1960 after an operation

[refohtiew]

Lizzi Waldmüller kam durch einen Luftangriff ums Leben. Sie hat auch mal an der Seite von Johannes Heesters gespielt und gesungen - "Auf all' meinen Wegen" (Aus "Es lebe die Liebe").
