Al Jolson: 1919 "Some Beautiful Morning" in AI
I apologize in advance, but he had it all Olivier, in my humble opinion.
No problem but you are claiming, in effect, that the ancestor was copying a descendent. When JB recorded this in 1928 Olivier was a name few heard of even in the UK.
very nice thanks
He was the best Canio after Caruso by a mile.
The immortal. Al. Jolson. Great. Lash bonnetti.
So lifelike, and a nice plug for Brunswick Records for which he was the company's biggest star, and a rendition of "Liza" as only Jolson could sing it. Gus Haenschen, who recorded most of Jolson's Brunswicks, said that they miscalculated the popularity of "Little Pal" compared to "Sonny Boy," which was one of Jolson's best-selling recordings.

This is so realistic that I have to remind myself that this is an AI creation! Unfortunately, not only her 1903 Columbia recording but almost all the others in that ill-fated series where among the most poorly recorded from a technical standpoint. In lieu of an orchestra, Charles Prince served as the piano accompanist for most of these recordings. Again, this video is so realistic that I have to remind myself that it's not a color film!
I am surprised how well so much of her personality comes through when compared with actual sound films of her.
It's amazing that she also sang Brunnhilde.
Good job!! ❤
Getting better all the time.
Magnificent,thank you so much ,great job
I just saw this movie last night, Conrad did an amazing job differentiating the two parts. And I'm sure the role was difficult, as it so mirrored his real life fighting against the Nazis.
Fascinating!
Thank you
Magnificent! Thanks for sharing!
keep up the great work. getting better all the time
Much appreciated
Ah, if only they had recorded this together, and in the same language ...!
How marvelous to hear and "see" the great Nordica in one of the better recordings she made for Columbia. She had at least five languages at her command, but chose to record this in Italian rather than French. As did her contemporaries Lilli Lehman and Teresa Arkel, Nordica had more than 100 roles in her repertoire. And like another contemporary, Emma Eames, she was American-born.
Thank you! Delightful!
good one!
MOST INTERESTING! You may have noticed Robert, that there is A1 technology now animating entire figures, or entire scenes from the past, at the beach in 1900 whatever? speech being added, or at least crowd noises for effect. I presume from photos? but. like Hedera, can actual audio of singers etc from the past be added? I am not sure?.
Yes, I've seen those videos and they are like stepping back in time by making the past part of the present. For my purposes, I use the "interview" format where the person is in effect speaking to us in the present but I don't go overboard with the effect. For example, I had Ronald Colman say that some of his movies can be seen on RUclips and a few are available on Blu-ray. I suppose someone would say that I am bending the time continuum but I think it suggests that our existence perhaps goes on even after our earthy passing.
@@RobertFells Understand all that perfect Robert, and support it, and it appears a majority does also, at least where core Al Jolson interests are, elsewhere, with other artists, classical, historical whatever, I am not sure? There is some though that have a don't create something that did not happen attitude, and/ or it might be infringing into what does exist in some way, and cheating on that. I have noticed that sort of thing, just watch so and so's films, or hear his, her records, with somebody like MELBA, I don't think there is much film to watch? I personally like what your doing, giving me an idea of hearing. and. or seeing samples of what I could perhaps only read about with matching photos before
Thank you for posting this! Prelude: 0:03 Act 1: 03:19 Act 2: 48:10 Act 3: 1:24:44 Act 4: 2:04:19
"Uncle Carl," as he was known by his colleagues, became an opera fanatic after seeing and hearing Caruso in "Pagliacci."
You are missed.
Wanting a female director to work with. Veidt was quite progressive about that.
This Channel is awesome keep doing what you are doing this is historical
One of my favourite inter-war sopranos. Perhaps undeservedly forgotten.
I agree but are there any sopranos who are deservedly forgotten?
Now if you can take a famous silent movie and turn it into a talking picture. I believe that is the future.
Nobody is interested in talkie movies.
@@RobertFells I am somebody and after 1930 with few exceptions all movies are talkies. With AI there is the possibility to take pre 1930 movies, clean them up, correct the speed, colorize, add or delete sound, and possibly add voice to the actors. When watching a silent movie in most cases you can see the speaking. My opinion but it would be great to hear them. I've been watch some early silent movies lately that have no sound at all, no music. And I can tell you just having some music greatly enhances the experience.
I was making a joke. That said, silent films were consciously made without using or wanting to use dialogue. Much like ballets are created without the need to have the dancers sing or talk as they dance. To add spoken dialogue to a silent film is to dishonor the intentions of the filmmakers. Can we do that technically? Yes. Should we? No.
@@RobertFells I watched a documentary on early films and it did say the technology for talking films while experimental was possible around 1920. The movie studios rejected it for the reason that they felt they would lose their world market. It was very easy to put the subtitle cards in with any language that was needed. Around 1929/ 1930 once one major studio adopted talking pictures all the other studio's followed as they took a chance of losing money. Harold Loyd made a silent movie around 1929 and after watching a talking picture quickly remade the movie as a talking picture. I like how you used AI to get Harry Carey to speak.
As I have stated elsewhere,I wold hate to call it between Ruffo and Capucilli.
Wonderful to hear this fine voice!
Conrad veidt,What a noble, wonderful man ever, thank you so much for this Gem
I so regret that Rosa Ponselle didn't get to sing Adriana Lecouvreur as the role would have been engrossing for her and helped her to move on from the tough time she had with the critics over Carmen. Adrianna is not a particularly high tessitura so any worry she had about high notes would have settled down I am sure. I understand that a former production of Adrianna hadn't been good at the box office at The Met , but Ponselle was still capable of selling out the house. Its a pity the management did not go along with this idea.
Offhand, would you happen to know if Rosa recorded anything from Adriana Lecouvreur? I have James Drake's excellent bio of her so I'll probably find any reference to such recordings in there. We should not overlook radio performances either.
The male vocalist is Jean Gabin!
The greatest Conrad Veidt,what a brilliant actor and a wonderful noble man Thank you so much for sharing this Gem with us
You can get in colour from film classics
Very impressive ❤
The voice is crazyy, almost sounds exactly to her. Garbo never gave an interview but I'm so glad that you make this, now I can hear the voice of Garbo when she speaks about her personal life for interviews
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Truly a blessing to hear music like this for free, thank you sir for uploading this historical masterpiece
Magic man
Amazing work Bob!
Great !!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FASCINATING!
The definition of tour de force. Sublime! That once in earth's history voice with the technique and artistry to match!
Yes, and all the more amazing in that this recording was pre-electrical. There was no microphone, only a big horn and sounds vibrating on wax.
@RobertFells My mother and grandmother heard her live several times in Pittsburgh. Both were fine singers themselves and consummate musicians. Both heard the best of the 20th century live over the years in NY and Pittsburgh and, to them, NO ONE equalled Ponselle. No one. My mother described her singing as "almost too beautiful to stand." I never doubted it was true. If these primitive recordings show Ponselle to be the greatest, what must in person have been like?
Rosa made quite a number of electrical recordings that are available. Look for any recording that was made in 1925 and thereafter. That was the begining of the electrical recording era.
What an unfathomable treasure to have this recording of Flagstad, her sister and her mother singing together.
One of my favourite recordings...all charm and effortless!
Remarkable! Great job Robert!
MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THE SEASON!
Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
