When he starts singing at 3:50, I smile spontaneously. I'm completely in love with his voice. If there was one thing I could ask to God, it would be to bring this man back. Pure and beautiful.
This wonderful tenor is known to lovers of classical singing. His would be a great story for a film and this could then bring that unique voice to a wider contemporary audience.
@kfarm2001 no, he would rather have our people scattered without a country so we can be persecuted and completely killed off. Were talking about a holocaust victim here, he knows more than anyone how crucial it is for the Hebrews to have their own state to avoid our genocide.
I never said he was married. I never said he had children although someone told me that he had married in Belgium and had a daughter. I do NOT know this and I cannot Prove it because he was murdered by Nazis years before I ever met him.
All I know is I am proud to be related to him however distantly and HE WILL LIVE FOREVER!
I think you are not related to Schmidt because you don't know enough about him. Yes, he flied the Nazis and went to Switzerland, but he died in SWITZERLAND in a camp, where he simply was neglected. Shame on Switzerland!
Yes Fortis, sad but true. Look what they did to this great singer,. Beautiful voice and mind directing the voice. How many of those 6 million would have been great singers also? We will never know.
We assassinated 6 million Jews in order to end up bringing in 20 million Muslims!
We burnt in Auschwitz the culture, intelligence and power to create.Instead We opened its doors to 20 million Muslims.We exchanged culture with fanaticism,the capacity to create with the will to destroy,the wisdom with the superstition.
We have exchanged the Jews who even under the worst possible conditions have always looked for a better peaceful world, for the suicide bomber.
I DO SPEAK UP AGAINST ALL ANTI-MUSICIAN BEHAVIOR! ALL MUSICIANS SEEM TO GET ALONG, WHY CAN'T THE REST OF US? Something as stupid as race, religion ,color, ethnicity, etc. has no business getting in the way of the enjoyment of someone's music. It is just plain stupid. It has no place in today's society ANYWHERE.
Joseph Schmidt was my grandfather's first cousin,because of Nazi stooges, I never got to know him.When I first heard a recording of him sing, I wept. Such a tremendous waste.
please, does anyone know if the complete film can be obtained anywhere? What a voice, what a musician, what a Jew, what a man? The finest that can be.
suiram85, look up the Bel Canto Society on google. They have a website that sells video's, dvd's, & cd's of the great historical singers. The films of Schmidt that you want are called; 'My Song Goes Round The World.' - Which contains 'Mal D'amore' that you heard here. The other film is called; 'A Star Fell From Heaven' - This contains some gorgeous sung melodies that will stay in your mind & lift your heart. I recommend both. Good luck!
Dear joeocho88 , thank you very much for answering me, I love his voice and face very much, and I am listening him very often. I am a women living in Budapest, my name is Judit
I also want the Nazis who read this to know that not only did they NOT silence Chazzan JOSEPH SCHMIDT when they MURDERED him but there are MANY,MANY,MANY MORE of his FAMILY MEMBERS in the USA, MEXICO, ISRAEL and CANADA who remember him and continue in his musical tradition including one of them who is in LAW ENFORCEMENT! Joseph did not deserve what happened to him and THE WORLD REMEMBERS. So do I!
infact he died in a swiss internment camp maybe cause of his physicle weak heart, but mainly cause of the "circumstances" some of us can still remember even though we weren´t part of it. Things that still happens to people you have a voice, raise there voice or others who can´t do it at all.Don´t think mankind is gonna learn, but fortunatly they can´t keep the beauty away from us. Sing on Joseph
Joseph was using exit papers my grandfather forged to get him out of Europe but he went back to Romania to try to get his mother to leave. He got into Switzerland where he was caught and they put him in a DP camp and he was murdered there by a Nazi ****. If he had just gone,it would have been OK. I have never been able to find his wife or daughter. Iheard they divorced.Grandfather held the old photo of him and wept.
Joseph Schmidt was a very SMALL man, he took that from his mother's side because the rest of us are rather large and we ALL can sing and play music! He was born in Romania. He was diabetic and I understand he had cardiocascular issues as a result of his short stature.All of us interpret music as WE think it should be and it works so he was no exception. He was married and they had a daughter. I do not know his wife's name and I think the ladies were MURDERED in the Shoah.
A magical sensitive genius. I hate everything war represents and what it does. When Joseph went to the US-NY to record in 37' he should have stayed there.
I can't thank you enough for posting these videos. I have only recently discovered Schmidt, and am still exploring the documents, videos, and recordings.
such talent is lost in war, we should never let a madman like Hitler drag the world into such a costly state ever again, like the filthy rat vermon in Iran, who preaches about doing the
All of the Schmidts had beautiful singing voices!Joseph was very small in stature, looks a lot like my father,except dad had dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Joseph was his second cousin.Thank you for still remembering him and loving his voice!

I remember listening to old 78s of Schmidt many years ago, as an old friend commented in pure north Irish spake, `thon wee man had some voice`,
What a loss he was to the world of music.
