Miliza Korjus : WARUM?

[bellakiasma]

beautiful,magic and touching!

[eino46]

Natiaisena tämä kuului joskus seinällä olevasta puuradiosta äidin leipoessa leipää. Pirtissä tuoksui uusi leipä ja katajan vihdat joilla äiti puhdisti uunin. Niin lämmintä ja kodikasta. Pysyy muistissa aina,tuoksuja myöten.Leipoja vain poistui liian varhain. Todella muistoja herättävä kappale.

[GillespieChief]

So beautiful and sad.

[SuperMiro73]

i love this...

[1959oldies]

Estonian nightingale who had Polish mother and made career in Berlin, Germany, all over; quite a talent, no doubt about that. Poles, even Finns have made claims concerning her nationality. Korjus is quite a common last name in both Estonia ja Finland. Big star decades ago, but still remembered.

[piraan2]

@1959oldies She was born in Warsaw, her father was Estonian...but she belongs to all of us. By the way i'm Finn :)

[petlaa]

[Guzzimies]

Olin paikalla kun hän lauloi tämän Jyväskylässä..

[pioninkukka]

Muusiikin teacher at school used to play this to us.

[ratemous]

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics for this beautiful "Warum"?

[m1947n]

The ultimate question in the whole mankind.

[MrBonk007]

To all Estonia victims

[MrBonk007]

So sad

[RuslanRafael]

Ich liebe Sie, seit ich als Kind Sie gehört habe

[richard4791]

Korjus’ daughter Melissa F. Wells was born in Estonia in 1932 and for over forty years was a career member of the US foreign service. She served as US Ambassador to Estonia between 1998-2001.

[MrDanboy2]

A beautiful song from a talented beautiful woman

[monpitt500]

Pretty astounding,i like this voice somestimes and in other occasions her lack of vibrato bugs me a lot!

[nameuc]

coming from Poland,not estonia.

shes father was fron estonia,bon Poland 1909

die from usa,culver city,1980

[TheNotMK]

@nameuc Korjus is Estonian name.

[TheNotMK]

@nameuc But her mother was polish. So I guess shes more polish than estonian.

[MBRIE22]

@TheNotMK She is known as an Estonian operasinger all over the world.

[jussilahtinen]

A pearl from past ...lives for ever!

[TheKatsoja]

Vilka andra kända sångare/sångerskor än Miliza Korjus har sjungit detta Warum? Elisabeth Schwarzkopf? Kirsten Flagstad? Carita Mattila?

[piba1956]

Jag vet faktiskt inte!Sökte länge efter just den här versionen.Tycker att den är underbar!

[jompa103]

Ainutlaatuista. Aittäh eesti rahvas. This is a unique recording.

[frozenfin]

Kaveri laulaa, ku enkeli

[TheAnitamus]

Ach, so viele tausend Menschen kennen, Dumpf sich treibend, kaum ihr eigen Herz, Schweben zwecklos hin und her und rennen Hoffnungslos in unversehnem Schmerz; Jauchzen wieder, wenn der schnellen Freuden Unerwart´te Morgenröte tagt; Nur uns armen liebevollen beiden Ist das wechselseitge Glück versagt, Uns zu lieben, ohn uns zu verstehen, In dem andern sehn, was er nie war, Immer frisch auf Traumglück auszugehen Und zu schwanken auch in Traumgefahr. Göethe an Charlotte von Stein, Warum

[TheAnitamus]

Warum gabst du uns die tiefen Blicke,

Unsre Zukunft ahndungsvoll zu schaun,

Unsrer Liebe, unserm Erdenglücke

Wähnend selig nimmer hinzutraun?

Warum gabst uns, Schicksal, die Gefühle,

Uns einander in das Herz zu sehn,

Um durch all die seltenen Gewühle

Unser wahr Verhältnis auszuspähn ?

[Gallinnster]

Невыносимо любимое.

Unbearably loved.

Unique.

[7inga7]

This is so beautful and shows that she can sing without the pyrotechnics too. Brava!

[gmihut]

Captivating voice.

Magnificent !

[Mandelblueten]

so sweet , touching

[pasitapani]

fantastic performance, truly fantastic voice

[m1947n]

"Warum" 1935.Warum 1945?

10 Jahre,ein Krieg ,50000000 tote Menschen.Das Frage "Warum"bleibt

[enalita]

.........der Krieg hat am 1.9.1939 angefangen.....leider, also 6 Jahre Krieg, 6 Jahre zu viel

[Alicia7777777]

fantastic voice!!!!

[bobon47]

So sweet.. Hypnotic, great.

[douchie336]

she is the best!!

i love her so much.

the best soprano singer ever.

and i love the great valse.

[cbessada]

Although Miliza did not perform publicly later in life, she did not lose her wonderful voice in that accident, and did ultimately recover full use of her legs. She gained weight - but she was a wonderful voice teacher and quite the bawd. Lovely person, good heart, quick wit, great musician.

[SENAFOREVER]

Absolutaly gorgeous. I can hardly think of ANY light soprano nowodays with such a Maestria.

[vincenz55]

would like to hear her and caruso together doing a duet

[diapason007]

I have not heard this wonderful song before. I saw the film Great Walz when I was about 10 years old & have loved the voice of Korjus since then and the song "One Day When We were Young". Interestingly, I only recently discovered Theo Mackeben through the songs sung by Zarah Leander and believe him to be a great composer. Thank you for enriching my life.

[Killerqueenlady]

First time I heard this was in the funeral of son of my colleague and it really made me cry. I have decided that this shall be played also in my funeral.

[tanel82]

When Miliza's father died in 1936 in Estonia, she was on her way to Hollywood and couldn't attend the funeral. However she was present with her voice - the same song was played over the gramophone. According to Herbert Korjus (her cousin) the military staff was moved to tears.

[abccbooks]

Militza is a treasure for the ages. Her career was cut short by an auto accident that hospitalized her with serious leg injuries, and while there Jeanette MacDonald took over roles she might have had. She made a movie in Mexico but never another in the U.S. altho she married a doctor in Los Angeles where she died at 73. Her daughter was appointed U.S. consul to Estonia by either Reagan or Bush.

[mjfay]

The other side of this 78rpm is a treat. Can anyone post it?

[kuuvares]

Came from Estonia.

[inca48]

An absolutely gorgeous rendition of this lovely song. Thanks for posting it.

[tayunal]

I have never heard such a magnificent voice. Wish I could find out more about her. Can't seem to find too much on the internet. She is captivating.

[huhas1]

Please rent movie "The Great Valse". This is only movie she did, got oscar nomination.

Her role in that movie absolutely unforgettable.

[stephenTGV]

Beautiful. Thank you for posting.

[inca48]

Absolutely lovely. Thank you for posting

[incaalpaca]

OH what a beautiful voice she had and I wonder if she ever crossed paths with Jeanette MacDonald considering they were about the same age especially when she settled here in America in the mid thirties and starred in Hollywood movies

[milizakorjus]

She was a friend of Jeanette McDonald - I found this out doing a google search - also Sills and Sutherland were friends of Miliza's.

[TAUBERFANLEHAR]

Warum, I cannot remember who the composer is of this song, sounds Hungarian to me but a beautil ful performance. She also appeared many times on radio during 1939. I have a cd which I compiled myself from this period with titles that she did not record commercially - Kreislers Liebefreud, Silesu's, A little love a little kiss just to name a few of them. Atruly great artist, her top notes always remind me of a glass bell, thanks for posting this item

dan

[tsuhna88]

Theo Mackeben, great composer

[milizakorjus]

I'd love to hear the CD you compiled and I believe there is a 78 of the first Queen of the Night aria and Ah Icht liebte from Seraglio sung br Korjus - have you ever heard them? I managed to get all the Venus recordings and the Great Waltz LP.

[gmmix]

a beautiful voice, and a beautiful woman who managed to retain both assets for a very long time.

[bobopera]

Miliza was "the toast of Berlin" after her debut (Gilda, I believe) in the early 30s at the STAATSOPER UNTER DEN LINDEN. James Spader (sp?) did a radio special on her some years ago. Miliza was a phenomenon - a great artist.

[7inga7]

Exquisite; beautifully sung; not a hint of her sometimes stridency.

[conniefan57]

Eine wunderbare Stimme!!!!!!!!!!
