Richard Tauber, born in Leipzig, Germany in 1891, was one of the hugely popular lyric tenors to grace the music scene during the first quarter century or so of the commercial recording era, alongside the likes of Enrico Caruso and John McCormack.
He uniquely combined serious operatic stage roles with recordings and concert performances not only of operatic pieces, but also songs from operettas and musicals, Neapolitan ballads and the popular hits from Tin Pan Alley, so that long after his untimely death from cancer in 1948, he remained a much-loved performer among the generation who grew up with his music.
This 47-track 2-CD collection comprises selected recordings from throughout his career released on the Parlophone /Odeon label, including famous tenor pieces from both the classical and popular repertoire.
It features favourites like “My Heart And I”, “You Are My Heart’s Delight”, “Nessun Dorma” (from “Turandot”), “The Flower Song” from Carmen), “Serenade” (from “The Student Prince”), “The Merry Widow Waltz”, “Lover Come Back To Me” (from “New Moon”, “Vienna City Of My Dreams”, “O Sole Mio”, “Roses Of Picardy” and many more.
It’s a collection chosen to focus on fine performances of great melodies, and as such is an ideal showcase for his highly distinctive and adaptable vocal style.
