Berlin Cabaret - Adolf Ginsburg Orch. 1930

[literary123]

Berlin might have been decadent in the early thirties, but it was also a city where the arts were flourishing as well as great jazz music, jawohlllll ice liebe dich Berlin schon grosstadt!

[jonjamg]

I have a recording of this from: Grammophon 876, Matrix 1677 BN 7

[djmusicjac]

I love Dark Cabaret from Berlin in 1920's to 1930s, WEIMAR GERMANY, German Kabarett

[DouglasUrantia]

very snappy version...well done.

[Polyfar]

Excellent !

[mann1290]

Actually, the clampdown on the most gawdy places was not the Nazis who did, but the Weimar republic itself in 1932 - most likely in order to prevent votes going to the right wing politicians before the election, as ordinary citizens were outraged by 'the debauchery'. See "Voluptuous Panic" by Mel Gordon, highly recommended reading.

hmzfühl mich irgendwie allein..:( will einer mit mir schreiben hab auch bilder und so

[chkjns]

Your title says 1930 but the writeup says 1932. Can you tell me which year is correct so I can add it to the right playlist, please? I'm creating 2-hour playlists for every year back to 1900.

Adolf Ginsburg was my grandfather! Where did you find this recording? Are there others? Who posted this recording?

[2respond2]

This recording was of my grandfather!! Who posted this You Tube clip? Are you the same person who posted it on Daily Motion? Are there other recordings of my grandfather? Our family is thrilled to hear it! My grandfather did in fact escape from Germany to Canada. Thank you for this gift!

[2respond2]

Who found this recording...this was my grandfather!!! He did survive the war and escaped from Germany to Canada. I don't know who created this You Tube post and am most curious. Wow! Our family is sharing this recording and amazed to learn his recordings are still intact. Are there more?

[roybo1930]

@2respond2 This is a FANTASTIC Adolf Ginsburg recording of this song indeed! He gave other artest a super run for ther money on this great version. You can be very proud of Your AWESOME Grandpa. He was very talented, And I`m so glad to hear he escaped from Germany at that time, And I hope he lived a full and WONDERFUL life after that.

Yes indeed, pre '33" berlin was a center of culture & great music; too bad it all disappeared because of the war. Alas, a great era was destroyed never to be resurrected again (our loss).

[stefalbert]

Just imagine..there was no war.....no cold war.....just a great Germany , I wonder how it could have been.....sigh.....

[OhLookItsMapheu]

It would have been fabulous.

[4521556]

and I would be living there and my family would not have been gassed

[dasboogiewoogie1]

Moin, Moin from Texas!

If you like the Golden entertainment of the 1920s, you might like Brendan McNally's dark comic novel "Germania" (Simon & Schuster, 2009), about the Flying Magical Loerber Brothers, four somewhat magical, Jewish vaudeville entertainers and onetime child stars who were the toast of Berlin before WWII and who reunite during the surreal, three-week "Flensburg Reich" of Admiral Doenitz, Hitler's very unlucky successor.

[alvaroriccardi]

Es la misma melodía que la canción que cantaba el TRIO LESCANO (holandesas, húngaras, judías, italianas) "La gelosia non è piú di moda". Gracias!!! Muy buena!!!!

[Mr99BOXER]

Wunderbar ! Oh to go back in time and visit pre 33 Berlin! What creativity!!Indeed a center of art and culture!!! Sadly all destroyed by ego and greed. Ich liebe Berlin. .........Chicago.............A­uf Wiedersehen Berlin...........Bitte Sparkle again Berlin !!!!

[jonjamg]

@Mr99BOXER Berlin does sparkle again but you are right out went a large part of the Kultur in 1933 that had made Berlin the centre of Europe. Some deny this and say it went later! Berlin lost it in 1933. There was still great music but as world cultural centre Berlin cannot claim that after 1933.

A million dollar sound for this million dollar baby. A great version of a great song.

[manueltraquina]

Há uma inexprimível nostalgia nesta música.

[waltermullerweber]

Música que é uma delicia de se ouvir

[JoseEduardoNZ]

Walter,faço as tuas palavras, minhas: Music that's such a delight to listen to.

[asatro66]

Very good record. I like this style the cabaret one.

So good recorded with pure sound !

Thanks for this.

[randersonwa]

Fabulous. My grandmother lived in Berlin until 1932, when she left with her family for America. Her 78s, photos, magazines and newspapers from her time in Berlin (1920 until 1932) thrilled me while I was growing up. What a city, what a time. Her photos of the K-Damm (Wertheim, Teitz, etc.) are dazzling, and her catalogs and brochures from the original KaDaWe used to thrill me as a child, even though they were 40 years old at the time. I'd like to see more of the city my grandmother loved.

[4521556]

hey..i hope you know these archives are sought after now? if she was jewish, jewish museum are looking for material relating to survivors, all my family archives are going to yad vashem and amsterdam. also you may be entitled to an honorary german or berlin citizen ship

[4521556]

sorry, my father worked at Tietz

[cobacooba]

it was diferent berlin before war...it was amazing city but it was completely bombed... today its modern city nothing to do with 1930s

[ellenhawk]

Pre '33 Berlin was a center of art & culture and music with some great bands & performers and it all sadly ended much too soon.

[ralftolosa]

vieles hatte weltklasse in berlin aber auch schattenseiten, wie arbeitslosigkeit, aufkeimender nationalismus. als dann die provinzler aus den südlichen und anderen gauen ordnung im sündenbabel berlin schafften, war es vorbei mit dem geistigen schmelztiegel der führenden köpfe. die nation mutierte zu gefolgsleuten der nationalen verblendung und brave mütter nannten ihre söhne adolf.

[kaleidoxkopio]

¡Magnífico! ¡Soberbio! Muchísimas gracias por compartir esta joya.

[grofaz1939]

Yet more genius!

A Million thanks to all of you helping to preserve this all-but-forgotten brilliance!

[robcmoseley]

Superb!!

[gmmix]

Great piece given to us in good sound. Thanks much to the poster.

[HarborGuy]

Great everything - thank you!

[richardbrompton]

What ever became of Adolf Ginsburg? Was He able to get away from that other Adolf?

[3DDodger]

Tremendous Stuff

[dzheger]

A million dollar version. Well, a precious one anyway. Love these turning and fading pages revealing new pretty images.

[kspm01]

Fantastic version!

[vulcanswork]

"Ich habe leider kein Vermögen".

Ich auch nicht; aber tanzen und singen kann mann doch.:)

[barbcard]

"I found a Million Dollar Baby/in a 5 and 10 cent store"--the American lyrics to this same melody. But there are no more 5 and 10 cent stores...

[2ekan]

Oh, I do love this video. While listening to it for the first time, I got a offer teaching German, so now I can`t stop listening.

[genia106]

I have just returned to my computer after dancing around the room. What a great song... a real toe tapper. Love the German lyrics. Thanks.
