Helmut Zacharias and his magic violin

Helmut Zacharias and his magic violin - When the white lilacs bloom again (1956)

This movie was found at the end of another film while it has nothing to do with it. During filmchecks preparing for transfer we found this clip. It show Helmut Zacharias and his Magic Violin playing When the white lilacs bloom again. A short kind of videoclip from the time there was no MTV and probably played in a theater before the mainmovie was started.

I think this picture was made for american television with 30 frames per second (NTSC). Filmcollectief transfered it with 25 fr/sec?

Helmut was in the US-Top ten with this song for some weeks in 1956.

@mariusfelix it is slow, but nevertheless it's still beautiful. I don't think that being out of tune detracts from the quality in any way...actually, the lower pitch of his violin gives it a special, more mellow sound ...

[mariusfelix]

but it's far too slow...it's a minor third too low...his open G string at 0:32 sound like E...

Beautiful music ... beautiful memories! Thanks filmcollectief for this gift!

Saludos desde Colombia.

Very lively, yet deep. The violin speaks and sings at the same time. Cool.

Lieber Helmut Zacharias, Du wirst für immer im Geigenhimmel weiterspielen.

So wunderbar und unvergesslich. Ein toller Künstler.

Les violons font de cette mélodie un enchantement.
