Frédéric Chopin: Etude „Tristesse"/"Żal" - Janusz Popławski, tenor, 1934 !

Etude Op.10 No.3 for piano, composed by Frédéric Chopin and recorded for Polish Columbia, Warsaw in 1934 by Janusz Popławski, tenor, as a vocal improvisation "Żal" (Regret) with lyrics by M. Józefowicz.




Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), Polish composer and pianist who left his homeland in 1830 and settled in Paris, never returning.
And never loosing the sense of his roots nor forgetting about his birth place; homesick and longing, created new face of romantic piano music embracing patriotic feelings and moods connected with historic events of his home country (not existing at that time on the map of Europe).
His artistic output, especially Mazurkas and Polonaises are overflowed with accents, sounds and melodies that he had heard in his early youth in ... Pologne.

Janusz Popławski (1898--1971)

Opera, operetta and music hall singer. The artist of distinguished and versatile vocal abilities, endowed with a voice of beautiful "sunny" timbre. In twenties, he learned singing and in 1927 was engaged to the Great Theatre, Warsaw, as an opera singer where he was singing until the outbreak of the war. Creation of leading parts did not disturb him to perform serial recordings of popular songs for Cristal-Electro, Columbia and later - Odeon. During the War he made performances in the overt Warsaw theatres. After the war, as early as 1945, he recorded first records for still existing in Poland Odeon. He also resumed his performances both in opera and in music halls. In 1953 he moved to Operetta in Gliwice where he took active part in the artistic life nearly until the end of his days.
His old recordings of popular songs preserved and still retains a lot of charm.
Janusz Popławski, by means of his unique voice created the atmosphere - now of radiant joy, then of meditative pensiveness.
I like him.

Transfer from the original Polish Columbia 78 rpm record made without any sound modification.

Protective sound introduction: "Jalousie" played by Dajos Béla.

[isfeidirlinn]

close ones eyes and picture the love of your life sleeping a peaceful sleep and watching them wrinkle their noses and then turn over and lie on their palms giving a sigh of contentment and there you are knowing that your love grows deeper with each new breath.

Live love and laugh frequently

Дивные чувства навевает эта музыка.

Грустно, что время романтических

грез, чистых, благородных давно кануло в лету. Мечты, мечты где ваша

сладость... П.

Ach... wyciskacz łez od pierwszej nuty, od pierwszego wersetu. Piękne, a ja zapomniałam, że istnieje. Dobrze, że są Ci którzy pamiętają.
