Click this link for more great CHRISTMAS Records in my other listings! Claus Clausen "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht," or also famous as "Silent Night" in English, is probably the most popular christmas song all over the world. It ranks also among my top ten favorite christmas songs. This version comes probably from the 1930s, recorded by tenor Herbert Ernst Groh in Germany. Groh was a singer and actor who rose to fame in the late 1920s as a radio singing star. He was successful with recording opera compositions but actually also recorded other material like this cut.Claus Clausen recites (with organ and church bells) a rhymed story of Christmas 1818 and how Franz Xaver Gruber and Joseph Mohr created the Caruol Stille Nacht at Oberndorf bei Salzburg. The narrator is joined then first by a male duet, then by a children's chorus singing the song.THE SONG OF THE HOLY NIGHT (Das Lied von der heiligen Nacht)Das Lied von der Heiligen Nacht (Hans Albert Mattausch / Will Reeg) (part 1&2)Herbert Ernst Groh (tenor).

She studied in Vienna with Philipp Forstén and gave her debut in 1908 at the Theater an der Wien. From 1908 to 1912 she was a member of the Grazer Oper, and from 1911 to 1913 she sang at the Johann Strauß-Theater in Vienna.[1] After performing in Karlsbad she came to the Hamburger Stadttheater in 1914. From 1918 to 1922 she was an ensemble member of the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin.ViennaFrom 1921 to 1930 Schwarz appeared often as a guest in Vienna, performing the title roles of Tosca and Carmen, Eva in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Sieglinde in Die Walküre, Countess in The Marriage of Figaro and Rachel in La Juive, receiving the title "Kammersängerin"". It was during this time that she taught her Vienna Staatsoper colleague Leo Slezak's daughter (and Walter Slezak's brother), Margarete. In her book Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm Margarete Slezak recounts their meeting: "I paid Vera Schwarz a visit, and asked her to test my voice. Frau Schwarz found it would be worthwhile to train my voice, and promised me, while keeping this strictly secret from my family, to give me lessons. She lived with her mother, a delicate yet unbelievably energetic lady. Mama Schwarz missed no performance of her daughter. She sat in the middle of the parquet and influenced the audience's applause particularly loudly. While doing so she would turn left and right claiming loudly: "Charming, magnificent! Who is this God-gifted singer?". One time an acquaintance sat behind, unseen by her. He bent forward and said for everyone to overhear: "But, gnädige Frau, surely you would know that!"[2]Partnership with Richard TauberFrom 1929 to 1933 Schwarz was a member of the Metropol-Theater Berlin ensemble, returning in 1931 to 1933 to the Staatsoper Unter den Linden. She became well known as Richard Tauber's operetta partner, and sang often in this genre, almost always with Tauber.[3] She appeared with Tauber in the Berlin Premiere of Lehar's operetta Paganini in January 1926 at the Deutsches Künstlertheater [de], and in a new production at the Theater des Westens in April 1930, both conducted by the composer. She and Tauber appeared, again under the composer's baton, in the October 1929 premiere of Das Land des Lächelns at the Metropol Theater in Berlin.Schwarz and Tauber had first appeared together in Carmen at the Berliner Staatsoper in May 1921, and were often to appear together in operas such as Die Tote Stadt, Un Ballo in Maschera, Tosca, and Die Fledermaus at the Wiener Staatsoper. It was here they last appeared together in Das Land des Lächelns in February 1938.[4]International activityShe appeared in the opera houses of Amsterdam, Budapest, London, Munich, and Paris, where she performed Tosca in 1928 at the Opéra-Comique Paris. In 1929 she sang Octavian in Rosenkavalier at the Salzburger Festspiele. One of her last roles was as Verdi's Lady Macbeth at the 1939 Glyndebourne Festival.Persecution and emigrationFeuerhalle Simmering, grave of Vera SchwarzHaving Jewish paternal grandparents, Schwarz was forced to leave Germany in 1933, singing in Vienna, giving a world premiere of a work by Salmhofer[5] in 1935, and appearing as late as 1938 with Tauber in Lehar's Das Land des Lächelns. A few months after this performance, she emigrated first to England (where she sang Lady Macbeth in Glyndebourne), then to the United States, where she appeared in Chicago and in San Francisco, but concentrated mostly on concert appearances (including concerts at the Los Angeles German-Jewish club)[6]), and teaching in New York,[7] and in Hollywood. Here she coached Risë Stevens[8] and Marni Nixon.[9]Later lifeSchwarz returned to Vienna in 1948, teaching and giving masterclasses in the Salzburg Mozarteum. She died in Vienna in 1964 and was cremated at Feuerhalle Simmering, where also her ashes are buried (Abt. MH, Nr. 359).In 2011, a street in Vienna's 23rd district was named Vera-Schwarz-Gasse in her honour.[10] More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS - VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
