Found this interesting series of photos of a Herms Niel concert in Amsterdam, Holland, likely before the war - in 1938?

Excellent shots from Niel's 3 May 1942 open-air concert in Amsterdam, Tim, thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

Thank you, Tim!

Aren't there saxophones seen in some photos from this Dutch concert?

Hello everyone!

This is my first posting here, and, I hope, it is the right thread to put on (please remove it if I'm wrong).

From Innsbrucker Nachrichten, 09.02.1942, p. 5

Hello, Egor, and - :welcome:

Thank you very much for sharing this interesting article on young Siegfried Schmidt and Niel's impressions of his work!

Very nice, thanks for posting.

This brings back memories :) I visited the Monbijou park actually, precisely because of this waltz. Those were fine times...!

Cheers,
Ivan

An article from May 1943 about tour ending concert in Gau Weser-Ems.
Some lyrics for "Es lebe der Seemannsbart".

Thank you, Greg! :) The lyrics had also variations, for instance, guys in Ahlers' recording were singing "Mein kleines Mädel, fürcht' dich nicht vor meinem rauen Angesicht und vor dem rauen Bart...". It could be possible that the beard was "grau", but I doubt that the sailors were too long at the sea, so that they became that old for their families. :D

In Sanssouci, dort wo die alte Mühle steht [Walzerlied]
Composer: Hans Ailbout; Herms Niel
Lyricist: Charly
Publisher: Kawi-Verlag [Karl Wilke], Berlin-Wilmersdorf; W. Ehrler & Co., Leipzig
Opening Line: Lau, lau war die Nacht
One of the earliest known Niel's works, co-composed with his older (and at the time more popular) colleague, Hans Ailbout.

Hans Ailbout and the performers of the recordings below - singers Gerhard Pechner and Robert Koppel, and bandleaders Marek Weber and Paul Godwin - would all become unwanted in Germany a couple of years later, during the Nazi rule, due to their Jewish ancestry.





The uncredited performers here are Robert Koppel (vocals) and Carl Woitschach (conductor).
