- 'Jalousie' (sometimes shown as 'Jealousy' ) is arguably the best remembered composition by Danish violinist and composer Jacob Gade (1879-1963).
His tzigane tango was a worldwide hit performed for the first time on Monday 14 September 1925 at the premiere of the American movie Don Q. Son of Zorro, starring Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Astor.
It placed Denmark in the world map of music. His royalties as composer were so ample that in the 1970's it was estimated that the song was played, at least, once every minute on some radio on Earth.
This performance is by the New Symphony Orchestra of London conducted by René Leibowitz (1913-1972), a Polish, later naturalised French, composer, conductor, music theorist and teacher. He was historically significant in promoting the music of the Second Viennese School in Paris after the Second World War, and teaching a new generation of serialist composers.
'Jalousie' comes from a Reader's Digest box set titled 'Popular Music That Will Live Forever' and is from disc 1 'Pops Concert Favourites' (RDM-31-1).
