How wonderful. Remember that the clarinet in these times was banned from most orchestras as a typical "jewish" indtrument and that percussion solos in this style were not part of musical performances ("negro intrument"). I love this clip and all those fantastic artists in, f.e. the almost forgotten Clara Tabody. Isn't she sweet. The orchestra performance in the second part ("Ja, das Temp'rament") reminds me on Xavier Cugat performing in the Hollywood Bowl in the 1940s.
@cgnbooks The clarinet has never been banned from orchestras (classic or popular). Here on Youtube you can hear, for example, the wonderful clarinet soli by Franz 'Teddy' Kleindin, recorded for Telefunken and Tempo between 1941 and 1944. Another fine German clarinet player from the period was Benny de Weille (for example 'Schade' with the great Kary Barnet).
Diese Sequenz enthätl ja so ziemllich was damals im Deutschen Reich nicht gern gesehen, verpönt bzw. sogar verboten war! Musik wie sie rhytmischer und amerikanischer nicht mehr geht, Exotik, Erotik, "verrückte" Tänze, Drum-Solos etc....
im a movie musical film addict no propaganda in this pic but the escapism was use to ease movie audiences at war time plus influencing them no to take a stand against the nazi this wasnt really needed cause they were either for them or too cowardly to do something about it they used movies too escape this fact for the moment

Danke fuer's Hochladen! Das Lied ist unvergessen, weil es jedes Jahr von dem Mainzer Hofsaengern zur Fastnacht gesungen wird!

Interesting how hyper-exuberant these wartime German musicals tended to be.

Well, of course. Keeping the masses entertained is the key to controlling them.

Die bei uns fast vergessene Clara Tabody, ebenfalls Ungarin wie Marika Rökk. Herzlichen Dank fürs reinstellen.
