Richard Tucker - Dein ist mein ganzes Herz (Yours is my heart alone) 1954 live!

From the same live concert in 1954 (see response).

No other information is available but Mr. Ed Rosen has told me he believes it to be an NBC Standard Hour broadcast from the San Francisco War Memorial Opera.

My favorite English rendition of 'Dein ist mein ganzes herz.' Richard Tauber recorded the other English translation of it 'You are my heart's delight', which is just as good.

What, no randomly interpolated Bonisolli-esque C#'s? Thank God.

[GermanOperaSinger]

Indeed!

This is truly gorgeous, Tucker sang this at a gala outdoor concert at the the Philadelphia Robin Hood Dell in late June of 1974, only 6 months before his passing. It was an encore, and he dedicated it to his wife, Sara.

Tucker's voice has a special expressive lyrical beauty here to a degree that I have never heard before. His singing is suffused with passion and deep ardor; the phrasing is finely nuanced and intensely romantic...a great performance!

[johndlabella]

A perfect legato, clear diction, instrumentally clean line, nice pointed phrasing, and none of the huffy-puffy esclamazione (sp?) that he added later on. Really, it's totally satisfying. O to be there live. Thanks to you for putting this on Youtube.

@ConnonTenor Actually he had a fine high C that he sang occasionally live and on recording. He did it live in Ballo and on recording both in the duet, as Calaf live and in Aida in 1966 complete on brdcst. with price but interpolated and in the Lascaut last act in 59 with tebaldi and even later in the 60's. In 1974 as Calaf 6 mos. before he died, live in Brooklyn another high C but this one here of course does not call for it. His High B's where fantastic.

@ConnonTenor If he had had anything above a B, he might have thought of it.

@ElisabettaVS Tauber used to encore it in several different languages

[citrussorbet]

Wow! Thats why he was called The American Caruso

[halavey]

He sang in German also on occasion, lieder late in his career also but not this song. He even sang the Prize song in recital in the early 70's. Hard to believe this is 60 year old Tucker! sounds so young for 60!

[ElisabettaVS]

Wow. I only know this in german (I also think that it sounds better in german, but anyway), what a great singer! I didn't know him before and the English transcription of the song is not bad. It sounds very very nice!

[halavey]

i have it on cassette from legato classics from lyric distribution it is mixed with early and later live arias and duets. T
