Telefunken master 25504, rec. Berlin, January 1941.
Heinrich Friedl (1st tenor), Leo Fritz (2nd tenor), Rudolf Schenk (baritone), Ludwig Rombach (bass) and Josef Drexler (piano, arranger).
Of various Viennese groups that tried to recapture the success of the Comedian Harmonists, this group might have been the most successful. Their career start in 1929 was promising, and after they secured their first movie guest appearance in 1931 they became a fixture of musical life in Vienna. As none of the members were Jewish, the quartet (or rather quintet, for Drexler worked with them regularly) was able to perform until 1945 in unchanged form, though after the German occupation ballads and folk songs became a more important part of their repertoire than before. This is a fairly typical example of their later style.
