    My father (1916) was a great fan of Joseph Schmidt. When I was young, at home we had a lot of his records. Of course it wasn't my type of music, not my type of genre. After almost 65 years I hear his voice again, now with all those preserved images. I fell in love instantly. How indescribably beautiful. Thank you daddy in heaven, thank you Joseph. I love you both.

      My father, born 1916, was also a great fan of Schmidt. He would spend hours in our den listening to his many Joseph Schmidt records. I listened to them for hours also and was amazed.

    Joseph Schmidt was beyond great. My god, what a voice and what an ability to use it.

    Joseph Schmidt was a unique man with a magnificent voice he had a sad life and as a Jew he ultimately paid the price during the second world war sad and tragic

    Joseph as a wonderful tenor of opera was also perfect as a Cantor with many recordings demonstrating excellence in every manner a tenor could accomplish

      True, a beautiful lyric voice matched by a great and polished artist, singing it here in German , he had a tragic end at age 38 but his voice lives on.

    Something for the heart... 💖💖💖 And wasn‘t it smart of von Flotow to borrow this lovely Irish tune (Last Rose of Summer) for his best-known opera? So nice to see Szöke Szakáll in the scenes - and just watch the elderly couple among the audience, so enthusiastic, so thrilled, so moved by wonderful tenor Joseph Schmidt‘s performance... ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘m sure I saw the movie once - decades ago on TV, I suppose...
    Thank you for letting me watch part of it again! 🙏🍀

      The aria that Joseph Schmidt is singing here is actually "M'appari, tutt'amor". In Martha, it's the Soprano who sings "The Last Rose of Summer'. th-cam.com/video/NPnAGwu0MoU/w-d-xo.html

      You‘re right, it‘s sung by Martha; the scene this video depicts starts with recapturing this beautiful tune, that‘s why I mentioned it...
      Thank you for the link; I‘m sure it‘s greatly appreciated! 🌹
      You chose a link to a very beautiful version I enjoyed very much! (Leontyne Price, in case anyone wants to know beforehand...)

    Thanks for sharing. What a wonderful document of Schmidt's singing.
    FYI, the character who is standing behind Schmidt at the beginning of the clip, and who the camera cuts to a few times as he stands in the wings backstage, is played by the actor S. Z. Sakall, the Hungarian actor who many might recognize as the character Carl, the head waiter, in Casablanca! 🙂

    SZ Sakall who later immigrated to the US is in this scene! He later acted in movies like Casablanca!

      I've seen him in many movies, including those with Judy Garland. He had an unmistakable screen presence.

      he seems like a ham actor. I find the actors detract from Schmidt's fine singing.
