Leider machst Du einen Fehler ! Zarah sang das Lied "Davon geht die Welt nicht unter" niemals in dem Film "DAMALS" sondern in dem Film "DIE GROSSE LIEBE"

Hallo number 240252 !

You are writing quite an interesting story, its only a pity that it is far away from the truth !

Zarah Leander did not sing "Davon geht die Welt nicht unter" in the film "Damals",

but in her picture "Die grosse Liebe" !!

Thanks for this beutyful recording.

I actually thinks it was very strange that Sven-Olof Sandberg escaped so much criticism for his tours in Gemany, back in Sweden. They actually started when World War II was a fact. And Zarah had at least signed her contract in 1936, much before the war came, and actually attended shows back in Sweden, criticizing Hitler Germany as late as 1935. But let us leave the politics and just listen to, how beautifully they sanged.

A delicious slice of Sachertorte for the New Year. Thanks G.

Her contralto comes through as harsh, not soft,

but I still love this schmaltzy New Year music.

Yet another crisis (the Gaza situation) looms; can't help but think it's got something to do with the Presidential transition here in the USA.

But danke schon for this very generous video.

I loved playing the cello in the orchestra for this. I performed the principal cello solos and really loved the music.

For this recording??

Sorry I performed this work many times years ago. I am being sentimental. I meant to say I love this actual recording. My apologies.
