Thank you! Greetings to Berlin from Poland!

Another beautiful version of this enchanting and sensual tango and somber, hypnotic black and white photos.

This tango has power and some kind of a spell - how it turns from that strong emotional Argentinian tempo, suddenly towards the melancholic refrain. I love the Polish text: about the candlesticks' flames trembling over the "piano's wings"... You almost feel the beat of the tango running from under the "white hands laid on the keys" - that resounds partly within the deep black box of the grand piano, and partly - in the heart of a singer

Grzegorz, YOU are a GENIUS and a Brilliant Darling, The PARTY continues!

How SENSATIONAL this video is with the Noir images and My Favorite SEDUCTIVE Tango, "Tango Notturno." I am WILD, I am in PARADISE!

Grzegorz Mein Liebling, We THREE must go to Berlin...to the Cabarets and TANZ zu diesem Tango. Grzegorz WE shall VOGUE that photo at 2:22.

Rudy will love Berlin! :-)))

[240252]

Genia! But Gertie must go with us. Will you believe, she DOES NOT KNOW Berlin at all? She is so glued to Kensington... it becomes boring! She and Rudy MUST dance Tango for us at "Casanova", where plays Bernhard Ette's band!

Last night: My sister-in-law is Polish. Claims Pola means nothing in Poland(bullshit!) My favourite painter is Tamara, a tremendous inspiration for my Art Deco style oils of movie stars. One of my three favourite movie stars is Pola (sorry, Madame Curie), and Chopin is along with Mabel Wayne and Puccini my favourite composers. And my two favourite suppliers of outstanding music are both Poles!! I got family in Poland and never even visited! I want a different Poland, like you've shown me!

[hassony3]

No trace of my other two messages of last night!! The Finns talk about their Finnish tango (sweet, OK, melodious), but I think the Poles must be the real Argentinians of Northern Europe!! I don't understand how because you're pretty much like the Swedes, although more civilized (I know, because I once went on the Stefan Bátory to Canada, the Poles were all l920s gentlemen, and I believe they still are)! Those magazines are in Swedish, of course, but pix could be OK for your videos.

Dear Grzegorz, those were the times! Valentino was almost noble, Merle Oberon was a lady with no Indian ancestry, David Niven was of a family of high military officers, etc. They were all singular and supertalented individuals but born in an era where family background meant a lot. Where are my other two messages of last night?? I must search for them and get back to you. I have a number of issues of Swedish "The Scene" from mid-20s, lots of Pola, maybe good for u? Free of course!

The Third Reich dance orchestras were in their most really good. After expelling from Germany in 1933 hundreds of excellent musicians of the Jewish (or Jewish-Polish, Jewish-Russian, Jewish-Czech) origins, its amazing how many "aryan" German bands managed to maintain their level and even develop it towards the new forms of dance jazz, esp. swing. Dozens of bands in Nazi Germany could compete with the best swing orchestras in Europe and in USA

H Hassony! All your posts are VERY VERY interesting and so passionate in your feelings about that outstanding era. I can only feel honoured by having such companions in my site. Thank you really very much! As for Pola, I am etirely aware of her high status in the film history. Yes, she really was a Vamp and a Queen. Unbelievable career for someone who was born in a poor small town Lipno -not far from Bydgoszcz (Bromberg). Later she pretended do be a Polish gentry heiress, what she never was :-)

[bchick1987]

wow 1937,thats a quite interesting video because all we know about the nazi time of germany is negative but this is a great tango from that time

[hassony3]

A thousand thanks to you, Grzegorz! Immensely moving song and images that excite and inspire me as a painter! My God, where does one find pictures like that?? Just give them a slight Witcazy touch and they are thorougly modern! Great, great work, doctor Grzegorz! The only difference I ever had with you is that you seemed to be unaware that Madame Negri arrived in Hollywood an empress, a grand and most prestigious European actress, not a poor girl. You are a young guy, you are forgiven!
