Swing from Berlin (25) Will Glahe - Sing Nachtigall Sing (1941) & Berlin , summer 1945BackMichael Jary composed the melancholic "Sing, Nachtigall sing" for the movie "Auf Wiedersehen, Franziska", directed by the talented Helmut Käutner in 1941. In the movie, which starred Marianne Hoppe and Hans Söhnker, it is heard as background music being played on a gramophone. The best known and - in my opinion best - recorded version is the one by Evelyn Künneke, recorded in 1943. This recording by Will Glahé and his orchestra was made earlier in 1941. The sound is very different from Künneke's and has an exotic feel to it (which is the way the song is heard in the movie). The vocalists are not credited and it is clearly not the popular Schuricke-Terzett. If anyone has any ideas who they are, feel free to leave your comments. About the video : I made 2 videos for this song - one which has the movie and its stars as its theme and one with images of Berlin in the summer of 1945. I found the second video the more powerful - considering the song's lyrics (in translation : Sing nightingale sing, a song of days long gone - Sing nightingale sing touch my weary heart etc.) Last video of this cycle for the time being.
