This clip was produced to commemorate what would have been Tauber's 80th birthday. British produced film from 1971. My thanks to Saltburner2 for his expertise, encouragement, enthusiasm for all things Tauber (and my wife who pressed the buttons!) . Richard Tauber - the greatest Mozart singer of the age.

  • I can't thank you enough for this spine-tingling clip. The Bergner reminiscence is just as shattering and as moving as I remembered. This is the kind of accolade from one deeply knowledgeable artist for another that I treasure. It's even more powerful because of her candor on having seen Tauber in something she didn't like. The sheer impact of his subsequent Ottavio hits with even more force. This was not a knee-jerk fan but someone who valued craftsmanship and dedication above all else.

  • Both Professor Marcel Prawy and Professor Josef Krips described Tauber's Ottavio as 'Incomparable'!

  • The clip with koalas was filmed in Melbourne on June 27 1938, shortly after Richard and Diana arrived in Australia.

    The lion cubs were filmed in South Africa in October 1938 - there is also footage here from the top of Table Mountain.

    [They were in Australia from June 21 till September 30, and in SA from October 14 till November 11.]
