The highest level and quality of his renditions still today in the top of the art-mountain
(sorry about my english)

My grandparents just loved him. I can hear why

It gives me pleasure reading the comments preceding mine, especially as the commentators or their parents knew Richard Tauber. I like to feel that personal connection. I just love Tauber's voice, its easy flow, lack of strain and warmth.

So glad you appreciate this lovely man - he missed Vienna so much and Vienna missed him

@RudolfHapsburg You bet it was Vienna's loss! think of how many great artists Vienna lost thanks to the stupidity of National Socialism! Certainly NOT something the Great Kaiser Franz Josef would ever have done.

Interesting to hear thatTauber's singing in English for all the slight accent seems less afftected than when he sings in his native German. This is a natural and thoughtful performance free of the constricted German style which people think of when they carictature Tauber. A great "free" performance with has more relationship with the Italian style than teutonic.



Excert from my father's diary dated Sunday 17th May 1942. 'In the evening Peggie (Richens) and I went to see Richard Tauber in Pagliacci. A very good film. Saw a tiger moth land on Salisbury Plain.' I did not know of this man as he died the year of my birth, but I agree with the other comments. It is nice to be able to listen to what my parents (as they became) listened to during those difficult war years.

Very interpretive singer. Almost as if I can see him singing the song. Wonderful music and words.
