NOTE: Georges BOULANGER (1893-1958) was a Romanian violinist and bandleader, who tied his life and his career with Berlin in Germany. Born in Tulcea, Romania from a Gypsy-Romanian family with a long tradition in music (six generations of musicians). His name comes from his father’s nick-name, which in French means “boulanger” (a baker). Georges learned to play the violin as a child from his father, and at the age of 12 he got a scholarship to study at the Conservatory in Bucharest. Three years later he was heard by the famous Hungarian violinist Leopold Auer who took him to Dresden, where he studied with him for the next two years. (Other students of Auer were Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, and Mischa Elman). The musical studies were finished when Georges was 17 years old and he received from his master a violin as a going away present. Boulanger played on this violin until his death. However, instead of the “serious” virtuose career, Boulanger preferred the lighter genre, which was then called the “salon music”. Leopold Auer’s name opened for him the best opportunities the major European cities, from which Boulanger chose the position as first violinist in the Russian upper class snobistic Café Chantant in Saint Petersburg, where he played the Romani music, Balkan folklore and Viennese waltzes. When the Bolshevic revolution started in 1917, Georges Boulanger returned to Romania, where he served in the Armed Forces. Simultaneously, he taught music and wrote compositions. After the Great War was ended, Georges Boulanger traveled to Berlin, where he was kindly admitted by the circle of “white” Russian emigrants, many of whom remembered him from Sankt Petersburg. He played in Berlin and in other European cities, where his fame grew and the most renowned hotels and night clubs willingly invited him to perform. He recorded extensively (until 1939 he waxed almost 300 sides for Odeon, Telefunken, Kristall and Vox) and in 1938, his tune Avant de mourir (which would later be called "My Prayer" and a text by Jimmy Kennedy would be added) became a hit throughout the world. During the nazi times in Third Reich, Georges Boulanger was asked by the officials to present the proof that was not a Jew. Thanks to his Romanian friends’, Boulanger was able to present the quickly arranged documents from Romania, that he was a baptized Christian and his father was of the Greek, and not the Gypsy origin. In 1945, while already staying a zone occupied by the Red Army, Boulanger was identified by one of American soldiers as the famous My Prayer ´s composer and was transported into the American zone. After the war, Boulanger - who lost most of his family in the Gypsy Holocaust in Europe, left Germany and traveled to Rio de Janeiro and to Argentina, where he remained active for the rest of his days.
Three tunes selected for this film are illustrated by the scenes from the Gypsy life in Europe (1.), from the life of Berlin of the 1930s (2.) and in the 3. part - referring to a film “Der Blaufuchs” (A Blue Fox) which was the tremendously popular German film comedy of the late 1930s, in which the Nazi-film megastar, a Swedish/German actress Zarah Leander sung one of her greatest evergreens “Von der Puszta will ich träumen”.
Very enjoyable Doc

Maravillosos tangos, gracias
Sehr Gut. Super excellent with very good interesting photos
Very beautiful! I like very much the second one
Wonderful music viewed at the end of 2018 - music such as this is timeless - Best wishes to you and all viewers for 2019!
A triple treat today! All three tangos are enchanting, with the second recording being my favorite.
I like this guy not only bacause he plays so well, but also -that he survived the Third Reich and the 2nd WW with such face! It's hard to imagine, what he must have experienced each time, he walked from his home in Berlin out on the street. My mother - who was not Jewish, yet she had thick black hair and was kind of a beauty with some "Jewish" touch in her features - experienced many times an offence on the street in Poland occupied by Germans during the war.

Спасибо за хорошую музыку, а не звуки которые нам, к сожалению, подают как музыку. Thank you for the wandeful music,, that can't compare with that noise that leaks from TV & radio.
Przepiękne tanga! Bardzo lubię tę orkiestrę! :) Bolulanger był znakomitym skrzypkiem! Uwielbiam tango "Czerwone róże", w Polsce nagrała to tango orkiestra A. Jastrzębskiego, solo skrzypce: M. Paszkiet.
Pozdrawiam , dziękuję za piękną muzykę! :)
Ciekawe wiadomości, dziękuję. Teraz wiem, skąd znam to tango ze słyszenia (Rote Rosen). Wcześniej musiałem slyszeć je na Melodji, bo to wykonanie Booulangera mam od niedawna.
Beautiful music
Amazing
Thanks for these treats.
Exquisitely orchestrated and played versions, genuinely gypsy-styled indeed. Thank you as well for the interesting notes and the visual presentation!
1920sfan, me too. I hate to see a swastika anywhere, but this music is beautiful.
Magico!Grazie
Ciao mia cara Lidia e vi ringrazio per la vostra presenza in questo canale. Cordiali saluti!

Hello Grzegorz and all the "clickers" - the Tangos are a great treat for our long Memorial Day weekend with nice weather - for a change. Hope you're having a good weekend - Grzegorz and all of us! The Tangos sound really good with your artwork - super!
We have these days the hot and rainy aura which is driving me mad. This weather reminds me of the kind of weather which I remember from my stay in Washington DC: I took three showers a day and it was still not enough. I'm glad that you like these tangos. Georges Boulanger has that strong Mittel-European feeling in his play and his arrangements. I also like him a lot. Regards !
Anybody know what happened to tango3721?
4:26 Die Fotografie ist aus Dresden, nicht Berlin. Um 1935 vom Postplatz in die Wilsdruffer Straße. Die Tangos sind ein Traum.
