Jan Kiepura and Marta Eggerth - Kraków, Poland, 1958 - Noel Coward's "Bitter-Sweet"

[@UrszulaKaczorowska]

Jan Kiepura to moje wspomnienia Domu Rodzinnego, którego atmosfera przesycona była Jego ariami. W tych wspomnieniach jest również cudowna Anna German. Dziękuję, że mogę czasami wrócić do tych cudownych lat

Through my beloved mother I heard much about these artists but never heard their marvelous voices. Thank you for bringing this treat to me in my autumn years. Only wish my mother could enjoy it too. She grew up in Vienna while I only spent my first eight years there.

This is great! How well your Father recorded the broadcast and how well you have stored it. Now, we listeners are the richer because of the care taken by both of you, and through your generous sharing. Many thanks to you.

How extraordinary to discover this rare piece here. And how appropriate a title. It is Bitter Sweet to hear this star couple whose careers were cut short and sent into exile due to the Nazi era. The Austro/Hungarian Empire that bore these children and The Vienna that nurtured such talent was gone never to return. There were no digital video or cd/dvd so what remains after a continent shattered by war is priceless. Thank you.

[@parlophonman]

What a great surprise to hear them singing together at this concert, and how well both voices sound !! A real gem Jurek !!

[@whiteroselynx]

Extraordinary talents - and Eggerth is 100 this year, living outside NYC. Globalman, your comments help recover their history, thank you.

Such excellent quality from a tape recording off the radio and so long ago . Many thanks for posting .

[@MotherIlona]

This is so beautiful by Jan Kiepura and his wife, Marta Eggerth. Aren't they wonderful together? Love n' Hugs, Bett

Hard to believe that in 66 he passed away, my Father cried his eyes out my Dads friend told me , I was 6 yo at the time but my Father told me about getting his autograph 2 days in a row in Warsaw before the war . He signed it From big Jan to little Jan a sweet memory for me and a Kiepura fan myself 😊

Lovely to hear such talent my late father was always talking about a polish tenor Jan kiepura he always said what a great tenor he was with Marta eggerrh it's awesome . I still have my doubts about the composer as Noel coward the music to me smacks as Ivor novello it's too much like his style still we ll never know amazing!!!

[@whatsocc55]

Such a lovely song sung by superb singers as Jan kiepura and Marta eggerrh wonderful music by Noel coward. The music to me is too much like ivor Novellos I'm not so sure if Noel had the musical talent for this we may never know still wonderful!!

[@1920sfan1]

A precious document, thank you!

[@jurek46pink]

Thank you - with greetings !

[@jurek46pink]

@PolishRoots With thanks and best wishes !

[@jurek46pink]

@GW828 Jak tu napisałem D. , mówiono, ze Kiepura przybył wówczas całkowicie przeziębiony i miał problemy z głosem i występem a jednak... kontakt z krajem po latach dodał mu sił - interpretatorskich. Dziękuję, G. J.

[@jurek46pink]

@conniefan57 Indeed: unforgettable Best wishes. J.

[@jurek46pink]

@parlophonman I remember that it was widely said that Kiepura arrived then totally cold and had real problems with singing and performing.

[@rupepill]

@jurek46pink Thank you. Most kind.

[@jurek46pink]

@Hjadlowker My elder brother was probably more magnificent - not to erase this very piece for his rock'n rolls. Best wishes !

@dzheger The past suddenly brought to the present time, may astonish us in many a way, indeed.
