Legendarny Polski Tenor!

[ilecier]

Look,if you don't have a clue about classical singing then don't even bother others with your useless comments. This is a BRILLIANT performance and nothing else!

@globalman not at the Met but on Broadway.

[SHICOFF1]

@globalman I see Eggert was born in 1912, so she is going to be 100 next year. I cannot find any record of them doing Merry Widow at the met. l in the data base for met. opera archives but he sang these opera's at the met.---- Boheme, Carmen, Tosca, Manon, Rigoloetto plus Tosca for a total of 33 metropolitan opera performances.

[SHICOFF1]

@globman Wow! you met Eggert who is alive and must now be 100 years by now. She sang even in her 90's.

[SHICOFF1]

@globalman thank you for the good information. They where smart leaving, just because the Nazis said they would look the other way doesn't mean anything, who would take the word of the Nazis anyhow and if the mind set changed they both would have wound up dead like Josef Schmidt who did leave but wound up in a Swiss internment camp and died at age 38.

@SHICOFF1 I met his younger son and widow the incomparable Martha Eggert in Zurich late 90's. They had been the Star couple late 20's and 30's. Opera, Operetta. Martha's mother was Jewish from Hungary....formerly Austro Hungarian Empire. The Nazi's said they would look the other way if they stayed but they didn't and fled. Were in Mexico and then crossed into the USA with Marcel Prawy, Austria's most famous musicologist and critic.They did 300 performances of Merry Widow at the Met. No DVD :-(
