  • Still as splendiferous as ever...!

  • Tried to comment before but you tube was down, you are correct, it is schmidt but on my 35 year old LP they used another tenor at the end, not as good but here they found the original, so glad you posted it, I listened carefully and you are correct I have waited 35 years for this!

  • .@vinyltovideo Would love to hear the original Schmidt ending, he surely would sing the high C which was easy for him.

  • Wonderful Lyric tenor of course and a very tragic end for him at age 38 and for her in a plane crash about 5 years after Schmidt died in the internment camp in 1942. He sang with warmth and great high notes always.

    interesting - I'm related to Joseph Schmidt, may be we're related

  • Bless YouTube & all those who care enough to share these beautiful moments with us.  Thank you from the bottonm of my heart.

  • How these two voices complement one another. So moving.

  • @joeocho88 This might not sound "correct" but these recordings show that greatness does not come from physical size. For folks to say Joe Schmidt could not perform on stage because of height issues is just BS.

  • fantastic

  • Simply wonderful! Thank you for sharing!

  • As a distant relative of Joseph Schmidt,

    I thank you from the bottom of my heart to finally hear his voice, the voice the Nazis weren't able to still!

    NEVER AGAIN!
