EVA BUSCH - Il ne faut pas briser un rêve

[tychaton08]

Merci!

Supposedly Eva was the illegitimate daughter of Richard Wagner's grandson. There is a photo of Eva, probably in her later years after the War, and I swear that she looks a little like Richard Wagner. Was her treatment in Ravensbruck possibly lightened by Nazi knowledge that she was of Wagner blood? A website of the memories of some women at Ravensbruck has a bit by a lady who remembered that someone was sending Eva enough money for her to always have money to pay for food at the camp canteen.

Divine Eva ! Quelle merveilleuse chanson ! Et quelle voix sublime, à la fois langoureuse et suave, riche de délicates vibrations ! Eva restera unique et inégalée. Cet enregistrement de 1940, en français, s'impose, sans contredit, comme un chef- d'oeuvre insurpassable. Puisse-t-il sortir du gouffre de l'oubli pour rayonner à nouveau sur les temps futurs qui en auront bien besoin !

Quel bonheur de retrouver cette chanson .

Je suis amoureuse de la chanson, là.

[tyjeffries]

What a gorgeous warm voice. Love her. A new favourite! x

A website with the biographies of a number of French singers says that Eva recorded about 400 sides, but most of them have been lost. One of her big fans was Goebbels, who let her records continue being played on radio while she was in prison, but they were announced under false names.

Magnifique merci!

It is amazing to think that this is on the other side of Clocher De Mon Coeur! This would be a wonderful disc to find. I have several French 78's from this period, but I have not had the fortune to come across this one.:-)

Eva is my Euro singing goddess, but there are lots of things in her bio I wish I knew more about--her spell in the USA in the 30s, her politics with her Red husband, the time after getting out Ravensbruck when the Germans made her sing for their troops, and her later years when she worked with Bing Crosby. Little about her in the English language. I wish I knew more.

Thank you for your comment! Indeed, very little info is available on Eva Busch. She was the subject of a documentary for the Franco-German Arte network ca 20 years ago. However I have never seen it. I only know she wasn't happy about it.

I recorded the Arte documentary in VHS. I met Eva Busch a few times in a store on the Champs-Elysées and she told me she was supervising the french translation of her book "Und trotzdem". I guess the doc was made at the occasion of the publishng of the book in France.

@nitrate6971 I met her in 1994.

Listen also to the song "Ich danke dir"

Intro is very intimate and soft.

Tears in my eyes !!
