Ich frag mich ernsthaft, WARUM bei dieser Art Musik immer das Nazithema hier kommt! Darf man die Musik nicht mögen weil es aus der Zeit ungefähr stammt? Darf man keine 60s Musik hören weil sie aus de rVietnam-Ära stammt? Einfach albern...

[Uruguruh]

Meine Oma hat immer erzählt über den Terrassen am Ku'damm in den zwanziger Jahren...

Berlin vor dem Krieg war etwas ganz Besonderes.

Schade das die Nazi-Schweine Alles kaputt gemacht haben.

@Uruguruh

auch durch die Augen meines Vaters erinnere ich mich, obgleich ich selbst nur noch mein geliebtes Berlin voellig zerstoert aus meiner eigenen Jugend kenne. Nazi-Schweine haben alles kaputt gemacht und uns dafuer ewige Schande hinterlassen.

@jazzfan1940 Ach so, wie schrecklich. Glücklicherweise haben wir diese wunderbare Aufnahmen der zwanziger Jahren noch...und Deutschland wird jetzt eine viel bessere Nation sein, die Schande bleibt nicht für ewig. Einen herzlichen Gruß aus Holland, von einem Enkelkind Berliner Juden die in den dreißiger Jahren nach den Niederlanden geflohen sind.

Die Musik von damals ist manchmal besser als die von heute.

I am particularly interested in DAJOS BÉLA (Leo Golzmann), first because I am very fond of his music and secondly because the historical notes with this recording say that he was born in Kiev, my home for the last 15 years. One of these days I hope to approach the central synagogue to determine if his birth was registered there. It would be also interesting to determine if some part of his family still exists here or -- like so many -- died during WWII. Great music!

My Darling Grzegorz,

Poor Virginia...All she needed was a Prozac and YOUTUBE.

I myself would love to leave this earth listening to this, sipping champagne with Jude Law or if i was to stay lying on one of those Sumptious Chaise Lounges in a beautiful dressing gown ala Countess Olenska in Age of Innocence nibbling on bon bons and sipping champagne dreaming of Jude or Clive. :-)

[genia106]

My Dear Grzegorz, I came to share this with a friend and I have to say this is MY FAVORITE DAJOS BELA. Thank you.

[saritagw]

Thank you very much for publishing this clips about Dajos Bela and the information you give

[shortjockbalt]

Wish that I were in Ku'damm right now, but am just here in Paulusstrasse in Baltimore... yet, a beautiful number. Also, wish that I had it on Schellack to play on my big Viva-Tonal Grafonola.

[max1941]

Ive met him in La Falda and in Altos de San Pedro in Huerta Grande where he used to dine and play...when I was a little boy,before my jazz career...Max

[AulicExclusiva]

Facinating biography, wonderful music. I only knew him from his recordings with Richard Tauber. Thank you!

[Ngajurlu]

My father's first record(when he was a child) was a Dajos Bela record (called Sehnsucht). He later listened to him in Amsterdam before the war. The next time he met him was in Buenos Aires where he was playing in a restaurant. (Its part of my dad's story I recently wrote up).

What a haunting, lusciously orchestrated tango! I love the pictures too, and I agree they are among the most beautiful ones you've ever presented.

[genia106]

These photos are some of the most beautiful you have presented. The tango is lovely, espeically the haunting melody of the piano at the end. These ladies are the champagne and caviar type; they wouldn't have touched a kreplach with a ten foot pole and what is a (tee & biquits-spleen)? It sounds disgusting!

[barbcard]

Sorry for the repetition; blame the vagaries of VT.

[barbcard]

G: In case the reference to kreplach is confusing see the kreplach-pierogi dialogue between D. and me yesterday in comments re

that sad man who's consumed too many blue-hearted pierogi.

[barbcard]

If the above is puzzling, check out the kreplach-pierogi dialogue between D. and me

yesterday in reponse to that sad guy who

overstuffed himself on pierogi.

[barbcard]

I prefer good red wine or a vodka gimlet. See my comment to D. today about kreplach(going back to my kreplach joke yesterday re that sad consumer of pierogi.

[bostonblakie]

Very interesting "liner notes."

[dzheger]

Seems to be a Jewish-Hungarian Mother's Day (J has Marta Eggerth):) Nice romantic tune, gentle accompaniment and warm deep voice. Charming pictures of sensuous Frauen.

[barbcard]

The perfect schmalz to accompany my 4:45 p.m. vodka gimlet. But no kreplach today; thus no kreplach jokes, D.
