Puszta-Fox - Georges Boulanger (1935) ft. Marika Rökk

A big hit from 1935 was the Puszta-Fox from the operetta "Dorozsmal Szélmalom". The most famous recording of this track is the one by Barnabas von Geczy (see Dairyman716 channel).
I would like to present the version recorded by master violinist and composer Georges Boulanger. You will notice that Boulanger's arrangement is somewhat different from von Geczy's.

The video is dedicated to a "child of the puszta", Hungarian Marika Rökk. The first sequence is from an early movie : "Heisses Blut" (1935/36, her second movie for UFA and set in Hungary ), combined with pictures of Marika Rökk from my personal collection. The last sequence is from "Tanz mit dem Kaiser" (1941, equally set in Hungary at the time of the Austro-Hungarian empire) featuring Marika Rökk as she is best remembered today. Both sequences seem a good fit to the music ...

Both the lady and the music are stunningly beautiful.

Thank you very much!

Diese Aufnahme des Puszta-Fox ist auch hervorragend, lebhafter als die von Geczy Version, die dafür eleganter daherkommt. Für jede Stimmungslage etwas.

[Leotaurus1975]

Ich bin genau der gleichen Meinung!

Eine sehr gute Aufnahme!

Wo finde ich den etwas über einen 78 rpm amp von TerraTec? Das hört sich interessant an...

Lassen sich damit auch Frequenzkurven verschiedener Schellacklabels nachbilden?

Hinreissend, die Musik und dazu die Ausschnitte aus "Heisses Blut". Passt perfekt zusammen.

Danke !!!

Meillä laulettiin: "Illalla kun mielipuoli kirveen saa, se johdattaa mut aita taa.........." Rumpalille kiva sovitus. Saa käyttää humppapeltiä.
