Richard Tauber - You are my heart's delight 1936

[Ekaress]

My piano teacher knew Richard Tauber & Marlene Dietrich! He said Tauber was a known womaniser & Dietrich cudnt sing and was so full of herself! I loved them both- Tauber as a beautiful singer of beautiful songs which I played as 78's on my parents 'radiogram' , a Blaubunk' when I was 8 or 9 in 1962! Great & happy memories!

Observen el gesto de los labios de Diana (0.28 a 030). ¡Merece todo el afecto que canta Tauber ...y más!!

What is the title of Diana's book?

[steph42uk]

This Was Richard Tauber by Diana Napier Tauber they based the 1971 film this clip comes from on it.

Diana era una hermosa mujer. Basta ver su imagen de perfil en este extraordinario video que compartimos. Y a una mujer así, ¿ quién ´podría no compartir los sentimientos expresados por Tauber y envidiar su suerte de tenerla junto a sí?

Filmed on June 20, 1936, the day of his wedding to Diana Napier [nee Molly Ellis, 31.1.1905 - 12.3.1982] at Marylebone Register Office in London.

Interestingly, Diana shared a birthday with Franz Schubert, memorably portrayed by Richard on stage and screen.

How could you describe Diana's personality ?

... and her feelings for Tauber ?

Her books are ambiguous ...

I would describe her as a pretty tough cookie; and she never felt sorry for herself. She got on with things. She was also a very brave woman in the War, and was duly decorated by the Poles for her sterling work.

I'm sure she really loved Richard [all women seem to have done], but also found him infuriating. In the books she shows both sides of her feelings well.
