Thank you so much balletamie for taking the time to share this beautiful song. I first heard this as a child many years ago. I loved it then, and I love it now. It has brought back many emotional memories for me.
So then it was recorded almost two years before the film came out. I like some of what Tauber does with it also but of course the recording was not nearly as good in 1936.
Very old RCA LP records had printed into their trail-off the year in which they were printed, in a very particular way, in the matrix number prefix, until 1973. When the prefix began with D9- that meant that recrod was pressed in 1949. E0 to E4=1950-54, F=1955, G=1956, H=1957, J=1958, K=1959, L=1960, M=1961, N=1962, P=1963, R=1964, S=1965, T=1966, U=1967, W=1968, X=1969, Z=1970, A=1971, B=1972 & C=1973.
The Tauber version was recorded on 23.4.1936, earlier than all but the first of those listed here with dates (though Richard Crooks had already recorded it on 7.7.1930).
The very best of all Serenades !!!! What a pity that Lanza did not appear in this movie; only his voice.
Love him to hear.

Another indefatigable homage of yours by posting this video response to Mario Lanza's voice, the greatest voice of them all

I heard this song in an organ, when I was a boy. When I came to the USA, I heard Mario Lanza, since then it is one of my favorite renditions.

A very difficult song: Note that it goes 3 octaves, in this case, Lanza went from a very low B flat (for a tenor) to a high B flat.
