Als Richard Tauber in Rom dieses Schubertlied in der Aufführung Dreimädelhaus gesungen hat, sass Benjamino Gigli im Auditorium und er schrie begeistert Bravo ……. . Zum Glück können wir durch die Video- und Aufnahmetechnik dieses einzigartige künstlerische Erlebnis „ein wenig“ miterleben. Richard Tauber war ein Jahrhunderttenor in der Oper, Kunstlied, Operette und im Volkslied !!!!!
I notice how peaceful the shoulders are, how still the torso, how modest the manner. Tauber has no need to manufacture anything - as so many singers do - he doesn't have to pretend to sound manly - he is manly. This is the voice of truth. Master of both melody and accompaniment, Tauber achieves a unity that few singers today can match. The interpretation is idiosyncratic by today's standards but that is part of the charm. I wish Schubert could have heard him. He would have cried . . .
[ idiosyncratic by today's standards ] PS: Today's standards haven't a clue. This song and music are from when *all* the food was organic; the gardens and town-streets were so silent, at night, that one could hear the Nachtigallen schlagen a hundred meters away, and when personal messages were delivered *in person*, if one knew how to write - or else in handwritten messages that took time to travel ...
Richard Tauber was not young when he sung this song but as always perfection in this performance with such a truly wonderful voice and artistry thank you for this film .
In 1944 I was on leave from the RAF and heard RICHARD TAUBER sing at The EMPRESS THEATER in Brixton London it was during an Air raid and afterwards I met him in the basement of the theater he was a gentleman and it was an Honour to meet him he has one of the finest voices in his range never tried to reach a note above his level just marvelous control to compare him with others is ridiculous! He stands alone and should never be compared he is an ICON
Time marches on...and the great ones from yesteryear are almost...almost...almost forgotten...but not quite!!! I am glad the name and voice of Richard Tauber is here on youtube!
I like Tauber. He is a great tenor and he sings with his heart. I love listening him sing Schubert's Serenade. He does a great job. Great musician and great vocal chords to match.
do you hear the wafting of the nightingale? alas, they are craving thee with sounds sweet dirges they do crave for me. they do know the longing of the chest, the know lovers pain, moving every mellow heart with the silvery chime
I am sorry hard to remember now, I was on leave from the R.A.F. It was during an air raid he was at the Empress Theatre in Brixton about 1943 it was a Solo appearance by him I do remeber we went to the basement after his performance that's where we met him Such a nice person, after my sister and I ran home with shrapnel falling everywhere We lived On Hayte Road Brixton Hill...
What a fabulous experience to have met him as well as seeing him. I love Tauber, I was introduced to his singing by a mad keen fan who lent me loads of his CDs and never came back to reclaim them... Since then he's pretty much my favourite tenor. When he sings Lehar in particular, he's unsurpassable.
This is signing. Such beauty. No one today has beauty like this in his voice, He said once that to hear Caruso sing was to learn everything about singing.. But man he sung so beautifully himself.
Dear Richard Tauber......My dear Mum’s favourite singer I remember her telling me, bless her....and Richard Tauber too, so unfairly, so badly treated, Oh that his cowardly persecutors should pay for their bully-boy vanity, damn them!
There are two clips of Tauber singing this: one is from the 1933 Aldwych production of Lilac Time in which he wears horn-rimmed specs, the other is from the 1934 film 'Blossom Time' in which he wears Schubert's own Nickelbrillen loaned by a museum in Vienna.
My last comment was meant for Samurai9. Historiwa, listen to 'mario lanza sings ave maria'. What is it that you don't like in his voice? He may have done some tacky films, but his voice.. I love all the greats, Caruso, Bjorling, Gigi, Martinelli, Tauber etc. Lanza was a great tenor, and making his way back to the stage(Milan I believe) before he died. He was only 38!
Where ever did you find this? This is GREAT! Despite Tauber's goofy leering at the camera and the fact that he looks more like Harold Lloyd than Franz Schubert, it is an amazing little gem. A piece like this that we've all heard a million times (and often not done well) is given a new life by Tauber's uber distinctive voice and superb technique. His little effects don't bother me at all. A great musician. Although he looks better in his top hat and monocle than in this fright wig. Great post.
Sir -- I know your comment is, overall, appreciative, so, along with that: let's see: he is playing his own piano accompaniment perfectly, looking at the music only some of the time; while he is singing a multi-centuries-World-Class rendition of one of the greatest songs ever; singing it *without* the complete ease and freedom of his lungs and chest and throat, since his arms and shoulders are constricted to playing the piano, and his head is often turned to face the camera; in the years when he was no longer in the best of health; doing all this in a filmed take, with at most one cut, at 2:04 (and back, a few seconds later) - if that was even a cut; it may have been just a second camera. So -- ummm --- what was that, about his facial expression, please ......? Thank you for reading.
through the night my songs are softly drawn to you; down into the silent grove darling, come to me! whispering slender treetops hashing in the light of the moon :| eavesdrop of hostlie betrayers, fair one, do not fear!
I've seen a few of his films. Heard many of his records. Such charm, and a voice that just flows, making singing look easy compared to some of today's tenors who look an aria short of an aneurysm.
Yes, you're right, he has done a little improvisation at the end, but it's good and so is the entire piece, rare to see a singer also a top class pianist.
As a child, I had a Richard Tauber Record. He sang: "In meiner Heimat wird es jetzt Fruehling." I played this on an old hand cranked gramophone until one day ,I dropped and broke the record. Since then I look for this song, but have not found it. Maybe someone knows, where I can listen to it one more time.
we were fortunate it was an Air raid on London Otherwise we would not have met him :) Was a great experience and Honour You know he was the greatest exponent of Schubert. Reply to Louisemiriam.
What is amasing to me the microphone is far from his mouth but intrestingly yet that voice resonates so nice. You can hear the strenght in his voice brilljaint👏👏🎹🎹😊
@Ragnaroekk Like any other of the great tenors, Tauber's voice & style were distinctive & unique enough to polarize opinion. I can accept that he is not for you. But to suggest that his singing was uncultured, when he was world reknowned for his superb musicianship & enchanting lyricism, & his voice afflicted with tremolo when in fact it had perfect vibrato, - is so wide of the mark as to only invite ridicule of your comment. 62 years after his death, he is STILL beloved with good reason.
he is the most carefully highly and wonderfully crafted voice, he knows how to sing and certainly touches souls... Master among master class! Love your writing,
My mother Oie's favorite tenor.Saw him in London as a DP..Stan of Chialiapin too. Music brings people together, no? Last week I sckd Beiber dck. All gooyd. W/relish. Swallowed. Thank ye: gimme a hands uyp
I have not seen this, but I have seen BLOSSOM TIME, a biopic of Schubert, where he sings this even better. No scooping, and more fidelity to the music and text. But for some reason, here he reminds me more of the real composer Schubert than in the other movie. I think if we could have seen the historical Schubert perform this masterpiece (his mannerisms and expressions, not the singing itself), it would be a bit like how Tauber did it here.
My songs beckon softly through the night to you; below in the quiet grove, Come to me, beloved! The rustle of slender leaf tips whispers in the moonlight; Do not fear the evil spying of the betrayer, my dear. Do you hear the nightingales call? Ah, they beckon to you, With the sweet sound of their singing they beckon to you for me. They understand the heart's longing, know the pain of love, They calm each tender heart with their silver tones. Let them also stir within your breast, beloved, hear me! Trembling I wait for you, Come, please me!
Absolute magic! How wonderful that we can still hear and see this man perform.

Thanks God for sending Schubert to the earth
This was my father's favourite song, he was cremated yesterday, this song played as the curtain closed .
Lovely song. My heart goes out to you x

I like how free his interpretation is.
Time marches on...and the great ones from yesteryear are almost...almost...almost forgotten...but not quite!!! I am glad the name and voice of Richard Tauber is here on youtube!
Full body voice. for a tenor...clear and specific...marvelous
This is so beautiful, it touches the soul.
Wie wunderbar gesungen ❤
I love when someone post an old lost video of a great. Thanks
Richard Tauber is a piece of My heart and My life, thanks for sharing all this, ❤️💛💙
This is what keeps me studying bel canto technique... exquisite, charismatic, moving... everything that makes Schubert Serenade worth listening to.
This wonderful singer sings with such deep emotion that touches me deeply.
Thank you for this beautiful clip which must be at least 70 years old and yet, so clear. A true treasure!
I like Tauber. He is a great tenor and he sings with his heart. I love listening him sing Schubert's Serenade. He does a great job. Great musician and great vocal chords to match.
A beautiful tune sung by a great singer.
do you hear the wafting of the nightingale?
alas, they are craving thee
with sounds sweet dirges
they do crave for me.
they do know the longing of the chest,
the know lovers pain,
moving every mellow heart
with the silvery chime
I like such voice of tenor.
Master of all!
Truly this is music which speaks directly to the sole. Find myself circling back to this song at least once a month. Timeless
you could do a lot worse !!
me too :) there is no other word to describe his voice other than beautiful.
Brilliant to say the least. Such quality of tone and mastery that only an artist can possess.
Que belleza. El realmente esta cantando.
cesar montes y tocando....
Yes an excellent voice and rendition,thank you for posting this...very beautiful.
Schubert preformed in a forgotten style from a forgotten tenor. Great video. Thanks for posting.
PERFORMED
Yes how comes this fantastic man is overlooked? Such a shame.
The best version on youtube
One of the most beautiful musical instruments "the voice" and what a privilege if you have that wonderful gift. Thanks for the upload 🎉

God bless well done....from a Somerset L.I. lad.
Thank you so much! You can´t imagine, what that video and song mean to me. Brought tears into my eyes.
he was a divinely beautifl singer .. NO ONE will fill his shoes .. he made his mark that no one can follow
What a fabulous experience to have met him as well as seeing him. I love Tauber, I was introduced to his singing by a mad keen fan who lent me loads of his CDs and never came back to reclaim them... Since then he's pretty much my favourite tenor. When he sings Lehar in particular, he's unsurpassable.
Just beautiful!
sublime, such depth and resonance .soulfull performance
This is signing. Such beauty. No one today has beauty like this in his voice, He said once that to hear Caruso sing was to learn everything about singing.. But man he sung so beautifully himself.
The actual Schubert playing his own Serenade. Wow.
Maravilloso... es increíble el parecido físico con el autor de lo que canta... Schubert!
Wow, he's good. I want to hear more of his singing.
Dear Richard Tauber......My dear Mum’s favourite singer I remember her telling me, bless her....and Richard Tauber too, so unfairly, so badly treated, Oh that his cowardly persecutors should pay for their bully-boy vanity, damn them!
As a Mozart tenor Tauber was unchallenged in his lifetime -simply an immaculately produced voice .
stunning. beautiful, thanks.
Love his voice and music. Bravo.

Lovely voice best tenor ever thank you
No one does this better than Tauber--no one!
I have never listen to this man before but he is a fantastic opera singer!
Goes to heart , love it so much!
I didn't know that Richard Tauber was a Music Video pioneer!
Great upload thank you.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Oh my GOD, this is kick-ass on so many levels!!!
Er kann es einfach!Wunderschön!!
Beautiful, piekne !!!
Excellent voice and very sophisticated
Richard Tauber was the one who got my Maestro Kurt Baum on the path to study voice with his teacher in Italy.
You studied with Kurt Baum?!!
Where ever did you find this? This is GREAT! Despite Tauber's goofy leering at the camera and the fact that he looks more like Harold Lloyd than Franz Schubert, it is an amazing little gem.

Good friend of my father ❤️🌹🕊

Fantastic piece of history. What a pity microphones were so lousy back then.
Lovely.

very magnifique!
Yes, you're right, he has done a little improvisation at the end, but it's good and so is the entire piece, rare to see a singer also a top class pianist.
Kathleen Ferrier was another top class pianist who was at ease accompanying herself . . .
Beautiful singing execllent P Ho

I love this so much ;)
Physical resemblance with Schubert. Free from mannerisms greatly appreciated. Too many sing this simple song in a stilted manner.
I saw Schubert play and sing his song in this video 0_o!!!
Wonderful
we were fortunate it was an Air raid on London Otherwise we would not have met him :) Was a great experience and Honour You know he was the greatest exponent of Schubert.

What is amasing to me the microphone is far from his mouth but intrestingly yet that voice resonates so nice. You can hear the strenght in his voice brilljaint👏👏🎹🎹😊
I consider him as the "Danubian Caruso".
memorable!
Arguably the greatest tenor of them all.
What a singer. What a pianist. What a musician. What a personality. Incomparible to anything I have heard.
Straordinario.
Eine wundervolle Rarität. Wirklich Tauber oder Schubert?! Ein geniales Talent! Danke!
Genial genius! Brim-full of Viennese Gemutlichkeit.
Queeee belleeeessaaaaaa!!!!!!!
esplendida voz

Amazing video. Thanks Mr Danny. jfsanin
好好聽...不愧舒曼
Superb! TY dorje1975 for posting.
WUNDER RICHARD TAUBER!!!
He looks like Schubert himself
And the glasses 😉
He was playing Schubert in a film, so he was made up and costumed appropriately.
LOVE
@TheRAFfc What a wonderful memory
Excellent! Listen Ekaterina Savinova. Ekaterina Savinova sings "Serenade" of Schubert
I have not seen this, but I have seen BLOSSOM TIME, a biopic of Schubert, where he sings this even better. No scooping, and more fidelity to the music and text.

cheer up ‼︎ all the children and ladies who's cring now with this song
My songs beckon softly
through the night to you;
below in the quiet grove,
Come to me, beloved!
The rustle of slender leaf tips
whispers
in the moonlight;
Do not fear the evil spying
of the betrayer, my dear.
Do you hear the nightingales call?
Ah, they beckon to you,
With the sweet sound of their
singing
they beckon to you for me.
They understand the heart's
longing,
know the pain of love,
They calm each tender heart
with their silver tones.
Let them also stir within your
breast,
beloved, hear me!
Trembling I wait for you,
Come, please me!
der Begleiter ist auch Tauber. Er singt und begleitet sich selbst. Er war auch ein talentvoller Pianist.
Genial!
