Ralph Benatzkys Operettenrevue war 1928 ein Sensationserfolg und machte die Comedian Harmonists schlagartig berühmt. In Stuttgart inszeniert Marco Štorman die Revue, doch ganz schlau wird man daraus nicht.

- Premieren Abend im SST: "Irgendwo auf der Welt, die Comedian Harmonists" - Naturschutz im Saarland - 100 Jahre Kraftwerk Fenne: Vergangenheit und Zukunft
Kleine Formationen und Vokalensembles singen und musizieren auf hohem Niveau. Neben Schweizer Gruppen wie «Les garçons» oder «cantuccini» sind in dieser «Fiirabigmusig» auch die legendären «Comedian Harmonists» zu hören. Kleine Vokalensembles haben oftmals hohe Ansprüche an sich selbst. Da jede Stimme meist nur einfach oder mit wenigen Stimmen besetzt ist, kommt es auf jeden und jede an. Alle müssen sich zu 100 Prozent aufeinander verlassen können. Sie erfreuen das Publikum mit perfekt ausgearbeiteten Arrangements und originellen Interpretationen. Auch am 11. Schweizer Chorwettbewerb 2024 haben zwei kleinere Vokalensembles auf sich aufmerksam gemacht. So hat das achtköpfige Frauenensemble «Touchant a cappella» die Kategorie der Vokalensembles gewonnen. Ausserdem hat der Männerchor «Ensemble vocal Diverticantus» aus der Romandie in seiner Kategorie der kleinen Männerchöre den 2. Platz belegt. Von beiden Gruppen sind Liveaufnahmen aus dem Wettbewerb zu hören, die das Schweizer Radio gemacht hat.
Who Were The Comedian Harmonists? The True Story Behind Broadway's Harmony
“Who Were The Comedian Harmonists? The True Story Behind Broadway's Harmony” is a podcast produced by Harmony: A New Musical and Broadway News. Songs In This Episode (from Harmony): "Overture" “Stars In The Night” Guests In This Episode (in order of appearance): Warren Carlyle Beowulf Boritt Peggy Eisenhauer Dan Moses Schreier Linda Cho Ricky Lurie Mentioned In This Episode: Watch Broadway's Harmony perform "Rhapsody #20" Watch the entire titular song "Harmony" Watch the Comedian Harmonists perform together Learn More About The Comedian Harmonists: www.thecomedianharmonists.com Learn More About Harmony A New Musical: www.harmonyanewmusical.com In 1927, a young man in Germany placed an ad in the local paper: “Attention. Rare opportunity. Tenor, Bass (professional singer not over 25), musically talented, nice-sounding voices, for unique ensemble. Kindly give days and times when available [for rehearsals, etc.]” Out of that two-line ad, came one of the most celebrated music acts of the 20th century: the Comedian Harmonists. The internationally renowned vocal group made over 200 recordings, performed in over 150 concerts around the world and appeared in numerous films. They played the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Coliseum and Radio City Music Hall. And yet, for most, the name “Comedian Harmonists” doesn't ring a bell. How could that be? Well, the Comedian Harmonists rose to fame in the late 1920s and early 1930s in Germany — and half of its members were Jewish. Because of this, the Nazi regime designated the work of the Comedian Harmonists “degenerate art” and much of it was destroyed. Lost to history. But…not all of it. The little that there was inspired writer Bruce Sussman to dig into the story of the Comedian Harmonists and, with his artistic partner Barry Manilow, create a musical uncovering their music, artistry and stories for the world to know and remember. “Harmony” officially opened on Broadway November 13, 2023 at the Ethel Barrymore Theater . And yet, there is only so much history one can fit into a Broadway musical. As Bruce said… “I just needed to simplify, pair it down.” “There were so many things that I could have done, but I had to make choices. As Sondheim famously wrote, the choice may be wrong, but the choosing is right.” Harmony closed on February 4, 2024 but the lost history it resurrected is worth a closer look. In this podcast, “Who Were The Comedian Harmonists? The True Story Behind Broadway's Harmony”, we're digging deeper into the true story of the Comedian Harmonists. I'm your host, Ruthie Fierberg, executive editor of Broadway News. Over the course of this series, we'll dive into the full history of the Comedian Harmonists — it's more complicated than you think. We'll learn the details about each of the six famous singers — where they grew up, their musical specialty, their personal lives and what happened after their time with the group. Plus, you'll hear from creatives and cast members about using this history to create “Harmony” onstage. Join us. There's a lot to uncover.

Zur Zeit der Weimarer Republik waren sie die erste echte Boygroup des Landes: Die Comedian Harmonists. Mit ihrem Vokalgesang eroberten die sechs Männer erst Deutschland und dann die Welt. Gerade auf dem Höhepunkt angelangt, kam aber bald schon das abrupte Ende. Um den Aufstieg und Fall der Band dreht sich diese Folge von "Aha! History". Außerdem geht es um eine Geste, die so selbstverständlich ist, dass man sich nie fragt, wo sie eigentlich herkommt: Der Handschlag. "Aha! History – Zehn Minuten Geschichte" ist der neue History-Podcast von WELT. Immer montags und donnerstags ab 6 Uhr. Wir freuen uns über Feedback an history@welt.de.

And yet, there is only so much history one can fit into a Broadway musical. As Bruce said… “I just needed to simplify, pair it down.” “There were so many things that I could have done, but I had to make choices. As Sondheim famously wrote, the choice may be wrong, but the choosing is right.” Harmony closed on February 4, 2024 but the lost history it resurrected is worth a closer look. In this podcast, “Who Were The Comedian Harmonists? The True Story Behind Broadway's Harmony”, we're digging deeper into the true story of the Comedian Harmonists. I'm your host, Ruthie Fierberg, executive editor of Broadway News. Over the course of this series, we'll dive into the full history of the Comedian Harmonists — it's more complicated than you think.

This Is Our Time...to tell you about Harmony, and while the show has already closed on Broadway, you can listen to us tell you all about it if you take this podcast with you Where You Go! -- Have you heard of Damp January? The New York Times seems to think it's a worthy trend. Take a look at some of the history behind the real Comedian Harmonists, and there's now a podcast that goes through their history as well! Check out some clips from the earlier production of Harmony in LA that Christine got to see, featuring a very different direction than the version that made it to Broadway. It's interesting to see how New York Times gave Harmony a critic's pick in the off-Broadway iteration, while the Broadway production received a generally negative review from the same publication (though a different critic). -- Music featured in this episode: Harmony (The Cast Recording) Apple Music / Spotify / Amazon Music Marie - The Comedian Harmonists YouTube -- Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @BottomlessBway, our blog at https://bottomlessbway.home.blog, or email us at bottomlessbway@gmail.com!

While Mickey-Jo was in New York, he was lucky enough to catch a performance of HARMONY, the musical by Bruce Sussman and Barry Manilow which sadly closed last weekend at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Broadway. The show, which followed the historic career of 1920s vocal group The Comedian Harmonists, was first seen by audiences in the late 1990s but has taken more than two decades to make it to Broadway. Check out the new review for Mickey-Jo's brief thoughts on why the show was ultimately short-lived, who gave standout performances and whether or not he enjoyed it... • About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field. His YouTube channel: MickeyJoTheatre is the largest worldwide in terms of dedicated theatre criticism, where he also share features, news and interviews as well as lifestyle content for over 60,000 subscribers. Since establishing himself as a theatre critic he has been able to work internationally. With a viewership that is largely split between the US and the UK he has been fortunate enough to be able to work with PR, Marketing, and Social Media representatives for shows both in New York, London, Hamburg, and Paris. He has also twice received accreditation from the world renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His reviews and features have also been published by WhatsOnStage, for whom he was a panelist to help curate nominees for their 2023 and 2024 Awards as well as BroadwayWorldUK and LondonTheatre.co.uk.

Heino Ferch - Kapitänssohn aus Bremerhaven - zeigte früh ein Talent für Tanz, Turnen und Akrobatik und vereinte diese Lust am Körperausdruck in der Schauspielerei. Seinen Durchbruch hatte er mit 34, in Vilsmaiers Kinofilm "Comedian Harmonists". Seitdem zählt er zu den Großen der Branche, lebt mit seiner Frau und drei Kindern am Ammersee und war zuletzt für zwei Fernsehprojekte in Afrika: "Die Saat" und "Tod in Mombasa".
Kunstturnen und Zirkus waren seine erste große Leidenschaft. Mit 15 Jahren stand er das erste Mal auf einer Bühne mit einer akrobatischen Nummer und daraus entwickelte sich die Liebe zur Schauspielerei. Nach seinem Studium in Salzburg avancierte er zu einem der besten Schauspieler, die wir in Deutschland haben. Seinen Durchbruch beim Film hatte der leidenschaftliche Polospieler 1998 mit "Comedian Harmonists" und zuletzt konnten wir in erleben im Wirtschaftsthriller "Die Saat - Tödliche Macht". Jetzt im Februar spielt er im ZDF Fernsehfilm der Woche "Tod in Mombasa" und Sonntagnachmittag ist er zu Gast bei Marion Hanel in 100 % Promi.
"Comedian Harmonists" oder "Schlafes Bruder": Der Regisseur Joseph Vilsmaier, geboren am 24.1.1939, hat mit Filmen viele Menschen erreicht; die Kritiker nicht immer. Von Martina Meißner.
BRUCE SUSSMAN received the 2022 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical for the Broadway show Harmony. With Jack Feldman, he co-authored the scores for Ted Tally's Coming Attractions (Outer Critics Circle Award) and Wendy Wasserstein's first musical, Miami, both produced by André Bishop at Playwrights Horizons. He also co-authored the score and book for Copacabana: The Musical, (Olivier Award nominee). His half century-long collaboration with Barry Manilow has produced over 200 songs that have been featured in numerous films & have been recorded by an array of artists, earning Grammy Awards & multiple Gold & Platinum records. We discuss: What is it like collaborating with Barry Manilow and how did that all unfold? When did you first get the desire to write, score & produce music? Who & what were your inspirations? Does writing the book for a show & scoring the music come naturally to you? What are the easy parts, what are the hard parts and what does it take to get it all done to your exacting standards? Is there a secret to your success? What advice would you offer someone else who needs a better roadmap to reach the same pinnacle of success that you have? The show's slogan is that HARMONY tells the extraordinary true story of the greatest entertainers the world would ever forget. There were 6 Comedian Harmonists. What made them so beloved at the time and why were they forgotten? What does the Broadway musical Harmony mean to you and can you tell our listeners exactly your role in the show is as the maestro behind the book and lyrics and also Barry Manilow's role with his original score in the show? What would you like audiences to take away from the intended meaning & message of the show & how you would like to see them feeling during & after the show? How long did it take for Harmony to get to Broadway & why the long and winding road that finally landed the show there. What are you most proud of? Anything you would change?
Connor and Dylan are joined by Blake Roman (Harmony, Hazbin Hotel). Another week, another AMAZING and harmonious episode with one of the stars of the new musical Harmony, which features original Barry Manilow tunes mixed with the true story of Germany's Comedian Harmonists. Blake tells us all about his character, Chopin, which songs he loves the most, working with Julie Benko, and why you should go into the show knowing as little as possible. Did we mention there's an iconic group chat with the six Harmonists? Oh, to be the government agent listening in on THAT. Blake talks about his upbringing on a farm in Erie, PA, the first musical he saw on Broadway, the impact of Next to Normal, and his gap year. But that's not all. Blake also voices one of the main characters on A24's Hazbin Hotel, streaming on Amazon Prime on January 19th. We discuss Blake's original music, Bret Easton Ellis' novels, Jacob Elordi's SNL hosting gig, and MORE. You're going to love this episode, and Blake of course.

Dass er Schauspieler werden will, habe er schon immer gewusst, doch zum ersten Mal auf einer Bühne stand Heino Ferch mit einer akrobatischen Rolle. Als Schauspieler wurde er später bekannt mit Filmen wie "Comedian Harmonists" und "Lola rennt". Heise, Katrinwww.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Im Gespräch
1933 hatte die musikalische Karriere der Comedian Harmonists ihren Höhepunkt erreicht. Dann wurde auf Betreiben von Joseph Goebbels die Reichskulturkammer gegründet: Die nationalsozialistische Institution verhängte Berufsverbote für jüdische Künstlerinnen und Künstler und zerstörte die Weltkarriere des Sextetts.

Norbert Glanzberg hat für die Comedian Harmonists gearbeitet und für Billy Wilder, doch 1933 musste der Würzburger Jude vor den Nazis nach Frankreich fliehen. Edith Piaf verdankt Glanzberg eines ihrer erfolgreichsten Chansons. Am Ende seines Lebens vertonte der in Deutschland aufgewachsene Komponist Holocaust-Gedichte. Dem Schrecken der Shoah stellte er die Schönheit der Musik entgegen.
Charleston, Tango, Kokolores - zwischen 1928 und 1933 gaben sich die Schlager frech, frivol und ausgelassen. Josephine Baker und die Comedian Harmonists waren die Stars der Zeit.
Ben Becker im BB RADIO Mitternachtstalk Heute habe ich einen ganz besonderen Gast in der Sendung. Einen herausragenden Schauspieler und Sänger, Synchron- und Hörspielsprecher, vor dem ich, ehrlich gesagt, ein bisschen "Schiss" hatte. Man sagt ihm nach, dass Menschen, die er nicht mag, das auch zu spüren bekommen. In meinem Fall scheint es gematcht zu haben. Nun zu seiner Geschichte: Bens künstlerische Ader liegt wahrscheinlich in der Familie, denn er ist der Sohn des bekannten Schauspielers Rolf Becker und der Stiefsohn des legendären Otto Sander. Seine Großmutter war die Komikerin Claire Schlichting, und sein Großvater ein bekannter Tänzer. Den Durchbruch hatte Ben in der Romanverfilmung "Schlafes Bruder". In seiner beeindruckenden Karriere spielte Ben in vielen Rollen, darunter einen Sänger in "Comedian Harmonists", den Reformator Martin Luther in "Luther" oder den Zuhälter "Tiger" in "Krabat". Seine große Liebe gehört allerdings der Theaterbühne. 2011 hat Ben seine Autobiographie "Na und, ich tanze" geschrieben, in der er Einblicke in sein bewegtes Leben gibt. In unserem Gespräch hat er quasi versprochen, in ein paar Jahren eine Fortsetzung zu schreiben, mit bisher unbekannten Stories. Aktuell ist Ben Becker mit seinem "Dauerbrenner-Erfolg" "Ich, Judas" live auf Tour. Am 28. und 29. Oktober 2023 ist er damit im Berliner Dom. Übrigens: Wir haben beide am 19. Dezember Geburtstag, was für ein kurioser Zufall! Ben Becker, ein cooler und bemerkenswerter Typ. Ich hatte großen Spaß und freue mich auf Teil zwei, den er mehrfach in unserem Gespräch zugesagt hat. Euch viel Spaß beim Hören!
Für die Comedian Harmonists und die Kardosch Singers werden heute Stolpersteine in Berlin verlegt. Wir sprechen mit Initiatorin Martina Wunsch über ihr Interesse an den Musikern und ihre Motivation. Zunächst geht es aber um die Tagespolitik: Die Linke befindet sich weiterhin in einer Führungskrise. Fraktionsvorsitzender Dietmar Bartsch erklärt weshalb er den Vorsitz abgeben möchte und wie er die Situation der Partei bewertet. Auch die freien Wähler haben dezeit zu kämpfen: gegen ihren Bundesvorsitzenden Hubert Aiwanger werden immer mehr Vorwürfe laut. Er sei im Jugendalter öfter durch antisemitische Witze und Aktionen aufgefallen. Stefan Kuzmany ordnet im Kommentar für uns ein ob bzw. wie das die Wahlen beeinflussen könnte.
Kai Wiesinger ist bekannt vor allem durch seine Rollen in den Kinoklassikern „Kleine Haie“ und „Comedian Harmonists“, in den letzten Jahren auch durch seine erfolgreiche und preisgekrönte Webserie „Der Lack ist ab“. Er ist nicht nur Schauspieler, Produzent, Regisseur und Drehbuchautor in Personalunion und schreibt Bestseller, sondern auch noch ein ausgeprägter Familienmensch. Nach eigenen Angaben war Kinderwickeln bis vor kurzem noch eine seiner Lieblingsbeschäftigungen. Wie will Mann das noch toppen? Außerdem ist Kai Wiesinger ein Mensch, mit dem man wunderbar übers Älterwerden philosophieren kann, schonungslos, aber lustig. Vielen Dank an die Landesvertretung Sachsen-Anhalt in Berlin, dort hat Sina Peschke Kai Wiesinger getroffen.
Comedian Harmonists nur anders.
In diesem Jahr feiern die Berlin Comedian Harmonists ihr 25-jähriges Bestehen. Im Dezember 1997 fand an der Komödie am Kurfürstendamm die Uraufführung des Erfolgs-Theaterstücks „Veronika, der Lenz ist da“ statt. Aus dem Ensemble, das damals mit dem Stück Furore machte, entstanden die Berlin Comedian Harmonists. Im Podcast Parkett Reihe 1 spricht Martin Woelffer mit Olaf Drauschke und Holger Off, die zu den Gründungsmitgliedern des Sextetts gehörten, über die Entwicklung der Gruppe. Sie erzählen von den damaligen Proben mit dem Arrangeur und musikalischen Leiter, Franz Wittenbrink, der den Beteiligten mit auf den Weg gab, bei dieser Inszenierung, „dem Affen keinen Zucker zu geben“. Martin Woelffer ist besonders stolz darauf, sich sicher, dass diese Anweisung maßgeblich zu dem Erfolg beigetragen hat. Und auch Olaf Drauschke und Holger Off sind sich sicher, unterstützten. Martin Woelffer schildert plastisch, wie überraschend der Erfolg der Produktion für ihn kam.
Die Comedian Harmonists schrieben eine Erfolgsgeschichte, die so vielleicht nur in der turbulenten Weimarer Republik möglich war. Junge, talentierte Sänger fanden Ende der zwanziger Jahre zusammen und waren schon wenige Jahre später vielgefragte Stars:
Als die Comedian Harmonists 1934 den „kleinen grünen Kaktus“ besangen, war der bereits Kultobjekt einer Epoche. Im neuen, modernen Blick auf Pflanzen - verewigt in Gemälden oder Zeitrafferfilmen - mischte sich Sachlichkeit und Lust an der Exotik.Von Dörte Hinrichswww.deutschlandfunk.de, Aus Kultur- und SozialwissenschaftenDirekter Link zur Audiodatei
Fünf Sänger und ein Pianist: Als die Comedian Harmonists wird das Sextett zum international gefeierten Vokalensemble. Weil drei der Comedian Harmonists jüdischer Abstammung sind, dürfen sie ab 1935 nicht mehr in Nazi-Deutschland auftreten. Ihre Hits aber bleiben bis heute unvergessen.
Die Liste seiner großen Kino- und TV-Erfolge ist lang: Ganz egal, ob nun in „Stadtgespräch“, „14 Tage lebenslänglich“, „Comedian Harmonists“, „Dresden“ oder „Die Gustloff“ - Kai Wiesinger liefert in jeder seiner Rollen ab und zählt deshalb zweifellos zu den bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten Schauspielerin Deutschlands. Zudem hat er sich mit der von ihm selbst entwickelten Comedy-Serie „Der Lack ist ab“, in der sich Kai augenzwinkernd-selbstironisch mit den Tücken des Älterwerdens auseinandersetzt, eine große Fangemeinde erobert. Das gleichnamige Buch wurde 2019 zum Bestseller. Im ARD-Krimi „Dr. Hoffmann – Die russische Spende“ ist Kai Wiesinger jetzt als Berliner Stationsarzt zu sehen, der in mafiöse Machenschaften der Klinikleitung verwickelt wird. Ich spreche mit Kai über seinen Umgang mit dem körperlichen Verfall, Schlaf als langweilige Zeitverschwendung, die nicht enden wollende Krise im deutschen Gesundheitssystem, Momente der Demut, offene Beziehungen und das morgendliche Erschrecken vor dem eigenen Spiegelbild. Wenn Du wissen möchtest, warum 50 für den Hobby-Tischler dann leider doch nicht die neue 30 ist, was ihm am Älter werden Spaß macht und warum er mit Entspannungstagen auf der Couch so gar nichts anfangen kann, dann solltest du dir diese Episode nicht entgehen lassen. Ich wünsche dir gute und inspirierende Unterhaltung mit Kai Wiesinger!
Mit Liedern wie "Der kleine grüne Kaktus", "Veronika, der Lenz ist da" und "Ein Freund, ein guter Freund" wurden sie einst berühmt. Robert Biberti, Ari Leschnikoff, Roman Cycowski, Erich Collin und Harry Frommermann. 1927 werden sie die Comedian Harmonists. Die Geschichte und die Musik der einst berühmten Gesangsgruppe lässt das „Comedian Harmonists - Ensemble 2021“ wieder aufleben. Und zwar bei den Burgfestspielen Bad Vilbel. Los geht es am 10. Juni. Die musikalische Leitung der Revue hat Horst Maria Merz. Er ist unser heutiger Studiogast. Wobei der Begriff Studio heute nicht ganz korrekt ist, denn das Gespräch fand in den Probe-Räumlichkeiten des Ensembles in Bad Vilbel statt.

This week, we're grabbing our passports. First we talk to Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman about their off-Broadway musical Harmony, which tells the true story of the Comedian Harmonists, a trailblazing troupe of Jewish-and-gentile entertainers in 1920s Germany. Professor Andy Markovits joins us to discuss his new memoir, The Passport as Home: Comfort in Rootlessness, about what he learned growing up as a Jew in Romania and Vienna before emigrating to the United States, and why he's chosen to embrace the idea of the rootless cosmopolitan, despite (or perhaps in spite of) the term's antisemitic origin.

Bereits für seine erste Kinorolle in "Kleine Haie" bekam er den bayerischen Filmpreis. Komödien wie "Der bewegte Mann" spielt er genauso souverän wie historische Gestalten, etwa den Pianisten der Comedian Harmonists. Kai Wiesinger ist ein echter Vollblut Schauspieler. Schon mit 14 hat er sich professionellen Schauspiel Unterricht zum Geburtstag gewünscht. Nun spielt er mit drei-Tage-Bart und ständig übermüdet die Hauptrolle in der neuen ARD Krimi Reihe "Dr. Hoffmann"- nach den sehr erfolgreichen Büchern rund um den Arzt mit kriminellem Spürsinn. Und eigentlich wollte er selbst früher auch mal Arzt werden und interessiert sich bis heute für die Medizin. Um all dies geht es in 100 % Promi bei Marion Hanel.
Else und Arne feiern Weihnachten. Besinnlich, nicht immer fröhlich, aber häufig kurios und dann auch scherzhaft sind wir unterwegs durch ein Jahrzehnt mit sehr wechselhaften Feststimmungen. Wir entdecken dabei vergessene Weihnachtgebräuche, beobachten die Landgeborenen bei ihrer Heimfahrt, begegnen reich beschenkten Schupos und kreativen Geschenkedieben. Doris, das kunstseidene Mädchen, erlebt Weihnachten leider ohne Glanz. Dafür genießen einige dank der Weihnachtsscherze ein lustiges Fest. Natürlich haben auch unsere Lieblinge, Kurt Tucholsky und Erich Kästner, etwas zu Weihnachten zu sagen und die Comedian Harmonists besingen die Stille Nacht. Als Gäste unterstützen uns Robert und Jan vom Podcast „Auf den Tag genau“. Sie berichten uns, was die Menschen vor genau hundert Jahren anlässlich der Weihnachtstage bewegt hat. Wir wünschen ein Frohes Fest und einen guten Jahresausklang.

Johann Lafer begrüßt in der vierten Folge seines Podcasts den Film-, TV- und Theater-Schauspieler Heino Ferch als Gesprächsgast, bekannt aus Filmen wie "Comedian Harmonists", "Der Untergang", "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex" und "Das Leben ist zu lang". Das Rezept: Apfelstrudel.
Chormusikredaktor Guido Rüegge präsentiert in der «Fiirabigmusig» Schlager-Evergreens gesungen von verschiedenen Chören. Beliebte Ohrwürmer werden auch von Chorsängerinnen und -sängern gerne gesungen. Dabei bedienen sie sich nicht nur beim klassischen Chorrepertoire, sondern auch in anderen Musikgenres. Daher werden Evergreens aus dem Schlagerbereich oder Pop-Hits oft kurzerhand mit einem Chorsatz versehen. In dieser «Fiirabigmusig» sind viele beliebte Melodien im «Chorkleid» zu hören. Dazu gehören einige Klassiker der legendären «Comedian Harmonists», dann der Schlager «Rote Lippen soll man küssen» oder eine Chor-Version des Reinhard Mey-Klassikers «Über den Wolken».
This coming Saturday, December 19, is an important day for my family: it’s my mother Jane’s 85th birthday. To pay tribute to this event, and to this very special woman, I’m presenting a program focusing on the year 1935, and important milestones in film, musicals, and the hit parade. There was such a dizzying variety of musical material in this year that it was challenging to organize, but I focus on young artists who were just entering the scene (Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, and Édith Piaf) to émigrés to and from America (including Marlene Dietrich, Paul Robeson, Joséphine Baker, Kurt Weill, Elisabeth Welch, and Erich Korngold), to Broadway shows that debuted in that year (in performances by, among others, Ethel Merman, Libby Holman, and Nat King Cole). Along the way I pay particular focus to what was, in retrospect, the most important Broadway event of the year, the premiere of Porgy and Bess. From that show, I present performances by Todd Duncan, Anne Brown, and Ruby Elzy, all of whom created their roles. I also examine the “Latin” influence on US culture from artists like Xavier Cugat, Carlos Gardel, and Miranda, and of the enormous cultural impact (in spite of repression and discrimination) that African American artists were making (Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Alberta Hunter, Fats Wallter, and Adelaide Hall.) Finally I look at musicians who were also born in 1935 who made their mark in subsequent decades in a wide variety of styles (including Johnny Mathis, Julie Andrews, Diahann Carroll, Elvis Presley, Nancy Ford and Gretchen Cryer, and Jerry Orbach). This is not to forget figures ranging from Ruth Etting to Grace Moore to Fred Astaire to Patsy Montana to Allan Jones to Noël Coward to Benny Goodman to Lucienne Boyer to the Comedian Harmonists to Bette Davis. Please join me in celebrating all these artists, and in wishing my mother a very Happy Birthday! Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel’s lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” Occasional guests from the “business” (singers, conductors, composers, coaches, and teachers) lend their distinctive insights. At Countermelody’s core is the interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

„Ein Freund , ein guter Freund, das ist das Beste, was es gibt“, sangen schon die Comedian Harmonists. Und Aristoteles war der Überzeugung, Freunde sind zwei Seelen in einem Körper. Eine schöne Vorstellung, aber was genau sind Freunde? Kumpel, Bekannte, Frollegen, Busenfreunde oder doch mehr als das? Analog oder virtuell? Das diskutieren Mutter und Tochter und stellen das eine oder andere Wissensdefizit fest. Warum wir durchschnittlich im Alter von 25 Jahren einen Wendepunkt erleben und was alle sieben Jahre passiert. Warum Nitsche irrte und was Freundschaften unter Frauen und Männern unterscheidet. Hört doch mal rein. https://www.planet-wissen.de/gesellschaft/psychologie/freundschaft_gemeinsam_durch_dick_und_duenn/index.html https://www.spektrum.de/news/die-gesetze-der-freundschaft/1190912 Cover: Nina Grahl Produktion: Miriam Zerbel Musik: https://www.musicfox.com/info/kostenlose-gemafreie-musik.php

Theater und Klubs dürfen wieder öffnen, manche wollen aber gar nicht. Es sei wegen der Schutzauflagen nicht rentabel. Einige wagen es trotzdem. Und: Die Welt empört sich über den strukturellen Rassismus in den USA. «Kulturplatz» lotet historische und gesellschaftliche Hintergründe aus. Viele Schweizer Kulturveranstalter wie Theater, Kinos, Musik- und Nachtklubs stecken im Dilemma: Seit dem 6. Juni dürfen sie unter Auflagen wieder öffnen, doch viele von ihnen wollen gar nicht. Zu sehr würden die Schutzvorschriften des Bundesrates den Betrieb einschränken und ihn deshalb unrentabel machen, so das geläufige Argument. Ein paar Mutige wagen es trotzdem. «Kulturplatz» ist zu Gast im kleinen Zürcher Theater Rigiblick, wo bereits wieder intensiv geprobt wird. Eva Wannenmacher bekommt Einblick in Bühnenproben zum Stück «Comedian Harmonists», das dieser Tage im Rahmen der Zürcher Festspiele hätte Premiere feiern sollen. Mit Regisseur und Direktor Daniel Rohr spricht sie über die Euphorie, die Probleme beim Re-start und über das ambitionierte Projekt von Open-Air-Aufführungen bereits ab Mitte Juni. Und: Endlich wieder Party! Doch auch Musik- und Nachtklubs stecken im Dilemma, denn auch hier wollen viele wegen der Auflagen gar nicht öffnen: maximal 300 Personen, Betrieb nur bis um Mitternacht und nur, wenn vier Quadratmeter Platz pro Besucher und Besucherin garantiert sind. Das sei unrealistisch und niemals rentabel, protestieren viele Veranstalterinnen und Klubbetreiber. «Kulturplatz» besucht zwei Partylokale in Basel, die es trotzdem versuchen, und erkundet, wie sie die Nachtschwärmer, DJs und das Personal schützen, und ob unter solchen Bedingungen überhaupt Partystimmung aufkommt. Ausserdem: Die halbe Welt empört sich über die rassistische Polizeigewalt und ethnische Diskriminierung in den USA. Der Fokus richtet sich vermehrt auf den alltäglichen, den strukturellen Rassismus. «Kulturplatz» ergründet, worum es sich dabei handelt, wie er entstanden ist, wie er sich festgesetzt hat – und wer daran ein Interesse hat. Zudem werden Thomas Mullens Kriminalromane vorgestellt, die die wahre Geschichte der ersten «black cops» 1948 in Atlanta neu erzählen. Schliesslich berichtet «Kulturplatz» über die Ausstellung «Centropy» der dunkelhäutigen US-Fotografin Deana Lawson in der Kunsthalle Basel. Eine Schau, die zur Auseinandersetzung mit den Klischees und Stereotypen der afroamerikanischen Lebenskultur zwingt.

Bescheid der Reichsmusikkammer: „Die Aufnahme der drei nichtarischen Angehörigen der ‚Comedian Harmonists‘ wird abgelehnt. Diese haben das Recht auf Berufsausübung verloren.“
Joseph Vilsmaier ist ein spannender Filmregisseur und Kameramann. Er besuchte ein Internat in der Nähe von Augsburg, absolvierte eine technische Ausbildung bei ARRI in München und studierte Musik mit Schwerpunkt Klavier. Nachdem er einige Jahre als Techniker tätig gewesen war, stieg er 1961 zunächst als Materialassistent und Kameraassistent, dann als Kameramann in die Filmbranche ein, wo er sich rasch einen Namen machte. Mit seinem Regiedebüt, dem Heimatfilm Herbstmilch, hatte Joseph 1988 auf Anhieb Erfolg, der im Jahr 1997 durch Comedian Harmonists noch übertroffen wurde. Für viele seiner Filme ist er als Regisseur, Kameramann und auch als Director of Photography verantwortlich.

Ob man den Laut R an der Zungenspitze rollt oder hinten im Gaumen flattern lässt, hat auf die Wortbedeutungen keinen Einfluss. Und trotzdem: Lokale und regionale R-Aussprachen fallen auf und werden emotional diskutiert. Der Status des einst verpönten Halszäpfchen-Rs verändert sich. Im europäischen Vergleich ist das Zungenspitzen-R historisch viel häufiger als das Halszäpfchen-R. Auch in den Anfängen des Bühnendeutschen (Germanist Theodor Siebs: «eine edle und darum sehr rein gesprochene Sprache») im 19. Jahrhundert wurde noch das rollende Zungenspitzen-R propagiert. Gerolltes bRaucht sangen auch die Comedian Harmonists. Erst im Lauf des 20. Jahrhunderts rückte das standarddeutsche R immer mehr in den Hals – nach Pariser Vorbild. Ein «falsches» R fällt sogleich auf Ein Forscherteam aus Zürich und Bern hat die Entwicklung in der Deutschschweiz und verschiedenen r-Realisierungen bei den Zuhörenden untersucht. Steckt hier die Abneigung gegen Thurgauerdeutsch oder ist das nur ein weiteres Vorurteil? Die Situation im deutschen Sprachraum ist besonders interessant, aber es lohnt sich auch ein Blick in den englisch-, italienisch- und französischsprachigen Raum. Überall fällt man mit einem «falschen» R sogleich auf. Für den Sprachwissenschaftler Adrian Leemann und sein Team ist der Laut R ein lohnendes Forschungsobjekt. Und für die Schnabelweid als Thema erst recht: Der Status des einst verpönten Halszäpfchen-R scheint sich zu verschieben. Neubearbeitung Sprachatlas der deutschen Schweiz Ein anderes Forscherteam um Adrian Leemann hat an der Universität Bern eine Neubearbeitung des Sprachatlas der deutschen Schweiz angepackt. Sie wollen in 125 Orten Befragungen machen und diese den Angaben aus den 1940er- und 50er-Jahren gegenüberstellen. Ein mutiges Projekt, das aktuell Mundartsprecherinnen und -sprecher aus der ganzen Deutschschweiz sucht.
Josef Vilsmaier ist im Alter von 81 Jahren gestorben. Bekannt wurde der niederbayerische Regisseur und Kameramann durch Filme wie "Herbstmilch", "Rama dama" oder "Comedian Harmonists". Anlässlich seines Todes wiederholen wir das Gespräch mit ihm aus dem Jahr 2008. Moderation: Achim Bogdahn.
Nationalsozialistische Rassenideologie erzwingt die Trennung. In ihrem Abschiedskonzert rühren die Comedian Harmonists ihr Publikum zu Tränen.
Nach dem großen Erfolg von Udo Lindenberg hat nun auch der stets perfekt gekleidete Sänger & Entertainer Max Raabe ein "MTV Unplugged" Album veröffentlicht. Aufgenommen wurde das Album in "Clärchens Ballhaus" und nicht nur sein Palastorchester war mit dabei, sondern auch viele Gäste, wie Lars Eidinger, Herbert Grönemeyer und Samy Deluxe. Max Raabe interpretiert seine große Hits in veränderten Arrangements und spielt Stücke von den Comedian Harmonists, Brecht/Weill und Irving Berlin.
Jason and Film Producer Thomas Jackson discuss their mutual experiences with parents suffering from Alzheimer's disease. It is a frank discussion about the pain and cruelty of the disease, but also an insight into commonalities and even moments of beauty to be found in the midst of it.

Mit erstklassigem A-Cappella-Gesang überzeugen diese großartigen Stimmen aus München seit über 20 Jahren mit Witz, Charme und unwiderstehlicher Ausstrahlung. Seit Anfang 2002 sind sie ein eingetragener Verein und Mitglied des Deutschen Barbershop-Verbands BinG! (Barbershop in Germany) sowie des Bayerischen Sängerbunds. Die HARMUNICHS singen Schlager aus allen Jahrzehnten bis zu den Hits der Gegenwart. Sie entführen das Publikum an den Broadway der Goldenen Zwanziger Jahre, swingen durch flirrende Dixieland-Nächte und grooven durch die Pop- und Jazz-Geschichte. Natürlich gehören auch deutsche Songs zum Repertoire. Dieser vielseitige Frauenchor singt mit oder ohne Choreographie. Technischen Aufwand benötigen sie nicht, da sie A-Cappella und Kraft der Stimmen ohne Mikro singen. A-Cappella der Extraklasse Stilistisch wird Barbershop hier zu Lande gerne zwischen Jazz und den "Comedian Harmonists" angesiedelt. Den Kern trifft keines von beidem. Barbershop-Gesang ist Obertonmusik, die durch möglichst genaue Abstimmung von Vokalen, Tonabständen und Lautstärke unter den vier Stimmen entsteht. Die speziellen Harmonieregeln und der enge Satz bewirken einen Klangreichtum, der zu den herausragenden Merkmalen dieser Musik gehört. Willst Du die HARMUNICHS live erleben? Dann hast Du hier die Chance auf zwei Freikarten für das nächste Konzert. Gewinnspiel: Wofür benötigt man eine pitchpipe?

„Wir kommen alle aus der Chorszene und präsentieren seit 1991 von Barbershop über Volksmusik und Comedian Harmonists bis hin zu Gospel.“ so Thorsten Werner, Ensemblemitglied bei ‚Männer ohne Nerven‘. „Die Motivation für uns ist der Spaß auf der Bühne, der Klang der vier Stimmen und die Einfachheit sich hinzustellen und zu singen“.

Joséphine Baker - sångerska, dansare, regnbågsmamma och motståndskvinna som lyckades förverkliga sig och sina musikaliska drömmar 'mot alla odds'. Andra delen av "När vinden vänder". Medverkar gör fagottisten Monica Ellis i ensemblen Imani Winds från New York, pianisten Althea Waites från Los Angeles och dirigenten och tonsättaren Renée Baker från Chicago.Joséphine Bakers klassresa är gigantisk. Vinden vänder flera gånger. Från fattigdom och misär reser hon sig och blir den första afroamerikanska scenartist som når stjärnstatus. Joséphine Baker blir en av Europas mest populära och högst betalda artister - en riktig fashionista, som har en gepard som sällskapsdjur, blir filmstjärna, bor i ett slott med sina tolv adopterade barn och är bästis med furstinnan Grace av Monaco.Joséphine Baker föds 1906 och växer upp under knappa villkor i St Louis, Missouri. Hon arbetar som barnvakt och städerska hos rika, vita familjer redan som 8-åring.1917, när Joséphine Baker är 11 år, upplever hon ett av de värsta rasistiska dåden i USAs historia. Den s k Östra St Louis-massakern. Tusentals vita människor demolerar och bränner ner svarta människors hem och skjuter rakt in i folkmassor med afroamerikaner. Flera svarta lynchas efter utrop som Söderns negrer förtjänar en geniun lynchning. Mellan 100 och 200 människor dör i de våldsamma upploppen, de allra flesta afroamerikaner. Sex tusen afroamerikaner blir hemlösa efter massakern.Händelserna i Östra St Louis satte outplånliga spår hos Joséphine Baker och under hela sitt vuxna liv arbetar hon aktivt mot rasism. Redan under sina föreställningar på 20-och 30-talen kräver hon i kontrakten att även svarta skall ha tillåtelse att komma till hennes föreställningar.Joséphine Baker vinner sin första danstävling vid 14 års ålder. I samband med det här turnerar hon I USA med Jones Family Band och Dixie Steppers. Hon flyttar till New York och uppträder i The Chocolate Dandies ett namn som används av en mängd olika jazzensembler USA på 1920- och 1940-talen.Som liten upplever pianisten Althea Waites de 1876 instiftade Jim Crow-lagarna i USA, vilka möjliggör segregationen.- Vi svarta förbjuds att använda samma toaletter, restauranter, dricksvattenfontäner, bussar ja, t o m kyrkor som vita. Det finns skiljeväggar mellan säten för vita och svarta i bussarna. Svarta kan inte prova kläder i varuhusen och det finns biografer för vita dit svarta aldrig får tillträde, berättar Althea Waites.Joséphine Baker står inte ut med segregationen i USA utan köper 1925 en enkel biljett till en atlantångare och går i exil i Paris. Hon är endast 19 år gammal.Blåskvintetten Imani Winds gav nyligen ut cdn Joséphine Baker - A Life Of Le Jazz Hot!, med två sviter om artisten.- Nuförtiden känner många inte ens till Joséphine Baker. Därför vill vi ställa henne i rampjuset genom de scenshower vi sätter upp med musiken från vår cd, berättar Monica Ellis, fagottist i ensemblen.- Artistkretsarna i USA under 30- och 40-talen begränsar henne. De är så inskränkta att en kvinna, en så stor personlighet som Joséphine Baker, är tvungen att finna en plats där de uppskattar hennes talang.-Vinden vänder helt på fransk mark och Joséphine Baker upplever för första gången att publiken struntar i hennes hudfärg och ser henne som den artist hon är. Detta är Joséphins viktigaste vändpunkt och hon använder den till att skapa sin magnifika karriär, säger fagottisten Monica Ellis i programmet.Joséphine Baker inleder sin Parisvistelse med att framträda I föreställningen La Revue Nègre, Neger-revyn, på Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.Den ökända finalen, Vildens dans, väcker starka reaktioner hos vissa delar av publiken. Joséphine Baker dansar nämligen topless, endast iklädd fjäderboa vid stussen och huvudet. Hon har stora örhängen och skelar med ögonen. Jospéhine Baker har med sin dans skapat en skandalsuccé!- Vissa anser att Joséphine Baker tjänar pengar på att uttrycka parisarnas fördomsfulla syn på afroamerikaner som abnorma freaks som sysslar med pajaserier. Många svarta tar illa vid sig över den där driften med svarta kvinnors kroppar och deras bakdelar, säger dirigenten och tonsättaren Renée Baker, som bildade 50-personersgruppen Chicago Modern Orchestra Project.- Joséphine Baker blir extremt sexualiserad, speciellt av vita män. Själv ser hon inte enbart sig själv som sexobjekt, utan använder sig av det dramatiska, det provokativa och det som mest chockar publiken, säger Monica Ellis.- Jag förstår att hon gör så här för att visa att hon är en stor artist, helt enkelt! Hon använder de instrument hon har; sin kropp och sin skönhet. När vi nu kan vi se hela bilden är dessa uppträdanden bara ett utsnitt ur det bildspel som är hela hennes konstnärliga historia, förklarar fagottisten Monica Ellis.I Paris spelar Joséphine Baker in filmroller som Siren of the Tropics, Zou-Zou och Princessan Tam-Tam. 1935 tar hon sånglektioner inför sin roll som Dora, dottern till guvernören i Guadeloupe, i Offenbachs komiska opera La Créole.1936 gör hon än en gång succé. Denna gång med föreställningen La Folie du Jour dagens galenskap - där hon dansar endast iklädd bh, strass och 16 konstgjorda bananer runt midjan. Här utför hon de kända Charleston-rörelserna där armarna korsas över knäna. En del ser de här gula frukterna som symboler för manliga könsorgan. Joséphine Baker får smeknamn som Svarta Pärlan, Brons Venus och Kreolgudinnna. Över hundra män friar till henne.Joséphine Baker är nu en av Europas mest populära och högst betalda artister och promenerar nedför Champs-Élysées med sin gepard Chiquita, gullar med sin get Toutoute eller dränker sin gris Albert i dyra parfymer.Hon återvänder till New York i mitten av 30-talet för att medverka i föreställningen Ziegfield Follies på Broadway. Det svarta samhället i Harlem hyllar henne, men varken den vita publiken eller vita recensenter i USA accepterar att en afroamerikansk kvinna kan vara sofistikerad och glamorös. I New York Times kallas Joséphine Baker för 'negerslinka'.Hon återvänder till Frankrike. Hon blir fransk medborgare 1937 och uppsäger samtidigt sitt amerikanska medborgarskap.- I Joséphine Bakers liv vänder vinden många gånger, anser fagottisten Monica Ellis. Bland annat när hon arbetar för den franska motståndsrörelsen under andra världskriget. Hon inser att hon är duglig även utanför scenen och filmduken och får visa vilken humanist hon är.Under nazisternas ockupation av Frankrike arbetar Joséphine Baker för den franska motståndsrörelsen genom att smuggla meddelanden bland sina notblad eller i underkläderna.- Att Joséphine Baker skulle utföra den här typen av hemliga uppdrag är för många helt osannolikt, och det gör henne än mer undercover, skrattar Monica Ellis. Sångerskan använder smarta, listiga och varierande sätt att göra en insats för det hon tror på. Hon är en extraordinär kvinna.Joséphine Baker är en föregångare till Marilyn Monroe och Madonna. Eller en legering av dessa båda artistiska ättlingar. Men hur kunde då Joséphine Baker, som var så ensam i sitt slag, vara så extremt stark och målmedveten?- Elasticiteten hos ett förtryckt folk är speciell, förklarar Monica Ellis. Det sista du tänker på är att du är förtryckt. Du funderar ständigt på hur du skall komma ur din misär, hur du skall kunna förverkliga det du har inom dig; dina drömmar, ditt kall. Du tänker inte på svårigheterna utan på vad som ligger framför dig. Hur tiderna skall förändras, avslutar fagottisten Monica Ellis i blåskvintetten Imani Winds.Den 8 april 1975 firar Joséphine Baker sina 50 år som entertainer genom en revy på varitéteatern Bobino på Montparnasse, på Seines vänstra strand i Paris. Den är finansierad av bl a Grace av Monaco och Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Fyra dagar senare avlider Joséphine Baker i en hjärnblödning. Hon är knappt 69 år gammal. Paris hylllar henne med en begravning värd en statschef och skjuter en salut med 21 skott.Låtlista:12:03 Billie Holiday, Harry Edison, Ben Webster, Jimmy Rowles, Barney Kessel, Red Mitchell, Alvin Stoller - Body And Soul Album: Holiday For Lovers Kompositör: Johnny Green Bolag: VERVE 12:05 Josephine Baker, Jo Bouillon - Don'T Touch My Tomatoes Album: My Greatest Songs Kompositör: Trad Bolag: RCA 12:08 Josephine Baker - Lonesome Lovesick Blues Album: Bravo A Josephine Baker Kompositör: Spencer Williams Bolag: COLUMBIA 12:13 Joséphine Baker, Adrien Lamy, Melodic-Jazz Du Casino De Paris, Edmond Mahieux - J'Ai Deux Amours Album: Exotique Kompositör: Vincent Scotto Bolag: FLAPPER 12:18 Josephine Baker - I Want To Yodel Album: Bravo A Josephine Baker Kompositör: W Spencer Bolag: COLUMBIA 12:20 Joséphine Baker - Sans Amour Album: Exotique Kompositör: Charles Borel-Clerc Bolag: FLAPPER 12:25 Imani Winds - La Belle Sirène Comme Le Comedienne/ I Journey Across The Ocean Kompositör: Jeff Scott Bolag: KOCH INTERNATIONAL CLASSICS 12:27 Josephine Baker, Comedian Harmonists, Erwin Bootz - EspabilateAlbum: Joséphine Baker 1933-1937 Kompositör: Eliseo Grenet Bolag: CHANSOPHONE 12:29 Joséphine Baker, Melodic-Jazz Du Casino De Paris, Edmond Mahieux - La Petite TonkinoiseAlbum: Exotique Kompositör: Vincent Scotto, G Villard Bolag: FLAPPER 12:34 Josephine Baker - MadianaAlbum: Joséphine Baker 1933-1937 Kompositör: Maiotte-Almaby Bolag: CHANSOPHONE 12:37 Imani Winds - La Belle Sirène Comme Le Comedienne/ Ii One Ticket PleaseKompositör: Jeff Scott Bolag: KOCH INTERNATIONAL CLASSICS 12:43 Joséphine Baker, Le Jazz Du Poste-Parisien, Al Romaine - HaitiAlbum: Exotique Kompositör: Vincent Scotto Bolag: FLAPPER 12:46 Josephine Baker, Wal-Berg - I'M Feelin' Like A MillionAlbum: Joséphine Baker 1933-1937 Kompositör: Nacio Herb Brown Bolag: CHANSOPHONE 12:50 Imani Winds - Portraits Of Josephine Baker Vi Les Milandes Imani WindsKompositör: Valerie Coleman Bolag: KOCH INTERNATIONAL CLASSICS 12:53 Josephine Baker, John Ellsworth - Doudou Album: Joséphine Baker 1933-1937 Kompositör: Pothier, Maurice Hermite, Pipon Bolag: CHANSOPHONE 12:56 Josephine Baker, Jo Bouillon - Je Voudrais Album: My Greatest Songs Kompositör: Bruno Coquatrix Bolag: RCA 12:59 Joséphine Baker - The Times They Are A-Changing Album: Live At Carnegie Hall Kompositör: Bob Dylan Bolag: TELE GENERAL STUDIOS
Im März des Jahres 1934 gaben die Comedian Harmonists ihr letztes Konzert in München. Dass es überhaupt zu diesem Auftritt kam, hatten sie vor allem der "Bayerischen Konzertdirektion Gensberger" zu verdanken. Ein knappes Jahr später, am 22. Februar vor 80 Jahren, wurde das wegen seiner jüdischen Mitglieder von der NS-Propaganda schon lange geächtete Vokalensemble per Beschluss der Reichsmusikkammer endgültig verboten.
