Re: [Cz-L] Music

Hi Jonny,

Glad you asked!

First, we had our generation gap.

My father would always listen to Radio Vienna programs (Wiener
Philharmoniker under Felix Baumgartner, Operettas like Countess Maritza,
Czardaszfuerstin, Fledermaus, etc., Operas, Voice and instrumental soloist
like Joseph Schmidt, Richard Tauber, Fritz Kreisler, etc., and on rare
occasions Yiddish broadcasts on short-wave stations from the USSR, the USA,
and Poland).
My preferences at that time were different: Light music (tangos, rumbas,
valses, chansons, schlager, Neapolitan songs, Jazz, choral music - all from
various countries, but mostly from Radio Bucharest). Also, Romanian national
music (can be considered the progenitor of contemporary klezmer music) and
Old Russian or Russian Gypsy music that was not broadcast from the USSR but
came from several European countries.
Incidentally, one of the most popular composer of Romanian tangos in the
1930s was Max Halm who hailed from Viznitz, Bukowina.

Regards,
Fred Schneider
