30s sample:
The
singer and actor Herbert Ernst Groh (1906-82) was one of
the most popular radio singers of the 30's and 40's, with an impressive
tenor voice that compared favourable with Richard Tauber.
During
his singing career he made numerous recordings and became well-known to
a wide public.
He began
studied singing in Milan and Munich, and in 1927 debuted in theatre in
Darmstadt. That same year he also made his first record. He joined up
with the Norddeutscher Rundfunk at the end of the 20's and therefound
his real metier and his greatest success; Herbert Ernst Groh became a
darling of the public in no time.
The opera
didn't play an important part in his career, his field of activity was
the radio - and from 1933 the talkies.
He made
his film debut with "Das Lied vom Glück" (1933),
it followed among others the productions "Schön ist es, verliebt
zu sein" (1934), "Casanova heiratet" (1939)
and "Sechs Tage Heimaturlaub" (1941). He also performed
numerous voice-overs for less gifted singing actors.
The
songs
The songs
here are listed as shown on the British Parlophone 78 from which they
were transferred. "Father, Mother..." is perhaps better
known as sung - "Vater, Mutter, Schwestern, Bruder"
from the 1845 opera Undine by Gustav Albert Lortzing (1801-1851,
Germany); "The Trumpeter" might have been better titled
"Behüt dich Gott", and comes from the 1884
opera "Der Trompeter von Säckingen" by the Alsatian
composer Viktor Ernst Nessler.

FAQ
FLAC downloads use lossless compression - when replayed or transferred to disc they are bit- identical to original recordings.
16 BIT files are at full CD resolution, identical to our CD masters.
24 BIT files are at higher, studio master resolution, identical to our finished master files.
Please ensure you can play our 24 bit FLAC files before purchase - try our test files here.
Not all media players support FLAC yet, so you may need to convert to WAV or AIFF before playback. See our FLAC help guide
FLAC downloads come as a series of tracks in a ZIP archive file.
Our MP3 files are encoded at very high variable bitrates using the LAME encoder or at a constant rate of 320kbps.
Each recording is presented as a single, long MP3 which can be split using the CUE sheet at the bottom of the page, adding track titles and other information.
CD writing programs such as Nero and Burrrn can write these files directly to CD with all track information added using MP3+CUE - see our tutorial
Alternatively a cue splitter program can automatically cut and name the MP3 into individual MP3 tracks
There are also media players which use the MP3+CUE system, allowing gapless playback of all long MP3 files - essential for opera and many other classical works
