The Music Of Berlin - 1930s German Dance Orchestra Music @Pax41

[@markfisher2121]

A great mix of leading German orchestras and refrain singers of that time :-) I thank You very much :-) Mark

[@pax41]

Glad you enjoyed the selection Mark and thank you for watching the channel.

[@DT-xs8lt]

My wife loves these songs as she German. Thank you for putting this selection together!

[@pax41]

Just got some more records from Germany today. Hope to put another German music post together within the next month. Thank you for watching the channel.

heyaaah, Bob 💞 and "hello!" to every time-traveller 🙋‍♀️ THIS is the true soul of Germany witty, refined and poetic 💗 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪😘

[@pax41]

Greetings Bonnie and hope you are well. Although I have my health, I am no longer employed due to this crisis. The cost of health insurance here is horrifically expensive and something I never encountered before. I can see why so many are in favor of health care reform and I have put that on my list of qualifications for who I vote for from now on. I have one prescription that I take and it use to cost me $35.00 before and now without insurance it is $325.00. Talk about highway robbery!! Hope you are doing well there and always great to hear from you. Stay safe BB!🙏😎

[@mainaccount131]

Sehr Gut. Super excellent

[@Trombonology]

A very pleasing set, Bob! I especially like tracks 1 & 7. When I first discovered German big band/pop of this period a few years back, it was rather a shock; I guess I was expecting something quite different, because of the current regime and its well-documented hatred of anything loosely resembling American pop. These sunny sides contrast fantastically with what was in the works there at the time.

[@pax41]

I like those two selections as well Elizabeth, great choices. I am very fond of the vocals by Rudi Schuricke, his vocals are superb. Hope you had a great New Years and all is well. 😉🙂🐺

PS: However, it wasn't really copying the US. It was a distinctive sound in its own rite.

[@paulweinstein9189]

Another delightful mix! Thanks so very much, Bob. It sounds very like the music in the USA at the same time. Who would have guessed what was about to happen in just a few years????

[@sonjadonovan2016]

Believe me, it was already happening since the mid- to late 1920s. Sine then the gangs of Hitler's Nazi party NSDAP had already raided and physically attacked Jewish, gay and Sinti/Roma, as well as all other "unwanted" cultures and people and their work. And since their formal election in 1933 the Nazis made sure that only music considered "clean" could be published. Each and every song had to get approved by their authorities, incl. "racial checks" of each and every person involved in the making. It may sound like any American music piece of that time, but it really was not. For example Jewish composers, singer, actors, performing artists of any kind were not allowed to work anymore eff. the election, and those, who dared to hire them were also in great danger. The music may sound happy and gay, but the lyrics already portrayed quite well the intention behind it...compared to the daring and witty song lyrics of the 1920s the German popular music eff. 1933 was very much targeted at blinding people to reality, to calm them, leading them to believe the times were great ans that the NSDAP was creating a greater Germany....whereas the real plan had always been WWII plus the extinction of everything the NSDAP considered un-German, or "unhealthy"...I am German and am quite ashamed of what happened in those 12 very dark years of our history. Do not be fooled by the carefree and happy sound of these pieces - the reality of those days was a different one. People feared and for good reason mistrusted their neighbors, their friends, even their own relatives...I have heard stories from surviving witnesses of that era that would freeze your blood...it is quite sad that they have all passed by now because history told is always much more effective than history read.

@@sonjadonovan2016 Yes, and Germany is doing so much better now right? Look you can say what you want about Hitler's politics, but the truth is still quite present even today just who runs most of the banking systems? Who makes a fortune off the backs of the working middle class? Just who really calls the shots in today's politics? Especially in German politics? The Germans? I think not, but Germany is meant to be German and today it's sadly less German than one could ever fathom do you agree? Probably not, but anyway the best composers and musicians will always be arguably German whether you care to agree with me or not. It's time to realize the real truth and you're only a part of what's to come in the near future so, have a nice day. 🇩🇪

Thank you Patrick

[@larryhagemann5548]

The wonderful music certainly did not reveal the recreation of the German war machine and the arming for the Second World War. The music was soothing enough to convince others of their "peaceful overtures". Thanks for this contribution. Bob.

[@petertaylor3600]

When times are bad and there's an existential threat on the move, is when things like music, etc., is at it's most creative and best. Because after what they'd endured post WW1 through the 20s, they would have needed this distraction.

Berlin may have had bad politics in the 30's, but they certainly made good music!

[@dougiesmith2916]

Bad politics? How so? I guess the UK had good politics and Russia as well. You have what they call an subjective stance on Berlin politics of the 30's not everything was perfect then, but it was better than the Weimar era whether you concede to my strong statement or not.

Please dont demonise the German people who suffered a great deal under the government of the third reich. But still managed to stoically find ways to enjoy life witness the many wonderful dance bands of this era. A cultured and sofisticated people indeed.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

They didn't suffer under the Reich. It was the opposite of that You are pushing the anti-german lies, you're a puppet of the zionists In fact it was your shill government and military who inflicted suffering and pain on Germans and other European people's including my own. The same way they made white Americans kill each other in the civil war, then kept the south poor on purpose after the civil war, look it up

[@anthrofan0369]

​@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess As a German-American, what you say is false. My great grandfather life in Germany was hell back in 1941 where his mother were scared of the Gestapo coming to investigate. In 1947 he and his mother migrated to the U.S. 2 years after the war.

Thank you Pax41 this'll do nicely. Great stuff. They were very much into jaunty and cheerful numbers. Is that to cover what was happening in their country, perhaps, at the time?

[@deitrichvonkeitel2613]

Absolutely not. In the 1930’s Germany was ahead of the world. They were out of the depression and the capital of innovation. The government of the Third Reich in the 1930s aided citizens impressively and marvellously. Those times are often misrepresented in modern day.

[@sanhuan34]

What exquisite dance music. We cannot go on demonizing such talented people for a political abberation. Charlie Chaplin knew.

[@petertaylor3600]

Charlie did. And Hitler had a price placed on his head because Charlie Knew and Adolf didn't want anybody knowing what Charlie knew, you see.

[@petertaylor3600]

We can't now, but we could and did. And they deserved it. German politics and their wonderful dance music are two entirely different things, plus most of the best of this was recorded well before the start of the war. Don't conflate the two eras and learn a little more about WW2 and what these people did to the world.
