"Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise' Albert Sandler & His Orchestra.

"Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise" (Romberg / Hammerstien)
from 'The New Moon'.
Albert Sandler & His Orchestra (at the Park Lane Hotel, London).

"Softly, as in a morning sunrise,
The light of love comes stealing,
Into a new born day"

I have just looked out on to the back garden and seen the first opening trumpets of this years Daffodils although the sun has now just popped behind some clouds. You cannot win them all!.

Bing Crosby , Nelson Eddy and a host of others made a lovely record of this as did the original cast of the London production. What excellent songs came from this musical not only this superb tune but also 'Lover Come Back To Me'.

This is always a handsome piece, although the lyrics are so haunting that I do miss a vocal (with a chorus is nice, too). Still, a beautiful rendition.

And lucky you, daffodils! It's snowing right now in Connecticut and I'll be happy if the Winter Aconite is up before spring. Daffodils wait for April.

Snowdrops too here amongst the first Daffodils. I must really must have a 'Good' look at them in these fast lives we lead.

Thank you for posting this lovely recording. Albert Sandler is one of my special favourites and he does this song from "The New Moon" exquisitely.

What a beautiful version of this song, it takes me back to the a time long before I was born but as I am an old fashioned guy I suppose it just takes me back. Karl Ireland

So Beautiful!! New Moon was indeed a wonderful musical.

Hope your daffodils will be in bloom by now. I live in Scotland, and I have been enjoying the daffodils blooming in my garden since very early February.

Thank you for sharing this lovely piece.

Very lovely. Haunting and sad but extremely beautiful.
