For me, the voice of Richard Tauber brings such memories of a great era. Few matched and even fewer excelled this great artist's career. We'll be listening to and enjoying this recording in 2029 just as they did in 1929. This kind of quality will prevail when so much that is being done today will be forgotten (as it should be.)

I sing this song at Karaoke, the English version (Bing Crosby) but it does not include the verse, which is just as pretty, and gives the added meaning to the song, for without the verse the audience does not know that it is only just a dream.

Very sentimental song, so lovely.

There are certainly a number of later surviving broadcasts, including the ROHCG Bartered Bride and the Hilversum Concert from 1939, the 1943 Old Chelsea, plus American, Canadian, Swiss and English broadcasts. Danny Sharples lists most of then on his House of Tauber website.

'after January 1938, all his commercial recordings ...' ... but Tauber could he make private recordings after 1938 as he did previously ?

[saltburner2]

Tauber's recording career lasted 28 years, and divides rather neatly into 4 seven year sections: [a] The German Odeon Acoustics [1919-26], [b] the German Odeon Electrics [1926-1933], [c] the pre-war English Parlophones [1933-1940], and [d] the war-time and post-war English Parlophones [1940-47].

Some sides were made in Vienna in periods [a] and [c], and four in Paris in [c]. Prior to 1933, he made no records in London: after January 1938, all his commercial recordings were made in London.

Actually both Tauber's recordings of this song were recorded in Berlin: the 10" version has Dajos Bela's orchestra on Be 7172, made on 28.8.1928. This slightly earlier 12" version [xxB 8102] has Ernst Hauke conducting 'Grand Symphony Orchestra' [actually members of the orchestra of the Grosses Schauspielhaus in Berlin], made on 19 May 1928. Both were issued in Germany, but only the 12" was also issued in the UK.
