  • Paul Godwin Tanz-Orchester - Niemand fragt uns [Nobody Asks Us] Tango (Gray-Reisch) a.d. Tonfilm „Die Gräfin von Monte Christo” mit deutschem Refraingesang, Grammophon 1932 (Germany)
    NOTE: This is one of the last dance records released by Deutsche Grammophon with a dance piece led by the German/Polish/Jewish bandleader Paul Godwin. Born 1902 as Pinchas Goldfein in Sosnowiec, Upper Silesia (Poland), Godwin left Sosnowiec in his teen years and trained in violin playing at the Warsaw Conservatory. In the early 1920s he moved to Berlin to pursue a career as a jazz and dance musician. His dance band „Paul Godwin und sein Jazz-Symphonikern” gained enormous popularity in Berlin nightspots such as Femina, and he also recorded many records for Deutsche Grammophon with such well-known singers as Leo Monosson, Alfred Vogel or Franz Baumann. At the same time Godwin also led a smaller chamber music combo, which satisfied his need for classical music.
    In Nov 1932, the NSDAP won a spectacular election victory. Hitler's party had 33% of the national vote - the most of any party. Germany elected Adolf as its leader for the next 13 years - with all the terrible consequences for Germany and the entire world. Artists of Jewish origin started to leave Germany, and those who made it time, such as Paul Godwin won their lives (Marek Weber, Efim Schachmeister, Dajos Bela and many others). In 1933 Godwin went to the Netherlands, where he managed to continue his successful presence on the music scene and survive World War II, although in Holland he abandoned the dance music genre and never returned to it. So, let us enjoy one of the last recordings of dance music made by Paul Godwin in Berlin.
    The film is illustrated with selection of German music posters from the time.

    wunderschöne Melodie, hervorragend gespielt von Paul Godwin und auch der Sänger, mutmaßlich Paul Dorn macht seine Sache nicht schlecht. Danke.

      Danke für die Erwähnung des Namens des Sängers - Paul Dorn! Ich wusste, dass ich von irgendwoher diese Stimme gut kenne, konnte sie aber nicht lokalisieren. Grüße!

      Uwielbiam nagrania orkiestry Paula Godwina i żałuję, że ich pula w mojej kolekcji właściwie dobiega już końca. No, może coś jeszcze się trafi :-)) Pozdrawiam.

    It is a pity indeed that soon after this recording, Paul Godwin would definitively abandon the dance band music scene, since his exceptional talent and skill are obvious in this utterly refined and elegant performance. The vocal by Paul Dorn was lovely too. Thank you so much for sharing!

      Given his artistic life and sensibilities (we must remember, a large part of his soul was Polish) Godwin must have been very painfully affected by the atrocities of the Holocaust, which he observed from afar, while he himself was somewhat more secure in the Netherlands, as it seems - or because of that. His turn to more serious music was probably a kind of mourning to the crazy days of Weimar Berlin, which were gone forever for him. And so many friends of his - dead.

    Germany also have a grandiose musical production, especially in the Weimar Republic, where, despite the economic and political crisis, there was a great cultural affirmation in the musical, artistic and cinematic field 👍🙋‍♂️🍀🎻🎼🌺☀️

      and this was made possible by the many wonderful Jewish artists - like this band leader Paul Godwin who had next to Marek Weber and Dajos Bela one of the best orchesters and who could play anything at all.

      Też im się trafiało. A ten wykonawca (orkiestrant) pochodzi z Sosnowca i zanim wyjechał do Niemiec, kształcił się w konserwatorium w Warszawie, więc jest w tym duch starych tang polskich i żydowskich. Pozdrawiam :-)

      persönlich schätze ich den Komponisten Weil sehr, hingegen Brecht glänzte nur durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Weil. Ferner soll Brecht wohl ein ziemlich unangenhmer Mensch gewesen sein......
