Richard Tauber - Toselli's Serenade

Over the years there has been many great tenors and sopranos. The main difference being that when a soprano sings in the higher rangers, nobody can understand a word of it . A tenor is therefore the 'king'. And Tauber is the king of those, and forever will be.

As a lifelong Tauber fan, I think this recording represents Tauber at his best. Such a pleasure to hear.

Marvellous!

It must have been a Tauber favourite as he recorded it three times: in German, both acoustic [1926] and electric [1929] versions; and this in English [1944].

It is a lovey song, almost every ones favourite.

Gorgeous song, second only to Schubert's Serenade

Excert from my father's diary dated Sunday 17th May 1942. 'In the evening Peggie (Richens) and I went to see Richard Tauber in Pagliacci. A very good film. Saw a tiger moth land on Salisbury Plain.' I did not know of this man as he died the year of my birth, but I agree with the other comments. It is nice to be able to listen to what my parents (as they became) listened to during those difficult war years.

Simply lovely, you have made an old man very happy. Thank you so much

Very interpretive singer. Almost as if I can see him singing the song. Wonderful music and words.

Ah! What could be better? A great, inerpretive voice and a great piece of music.
Thanks so much for this.
Ah! It is sooo moving. Almost anything I hear from Mr. Tauber brings with memories.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we who find him here.
Anne.
