Paul Abraham and his Orchestra : Viktoria und Ihr Husar !

A long playing medley from the Operetta “Viktoria und Ihr Husar” – (“Viktoria and her Hussar”) Music : Paul Abraham – (Lyrics : A. Grünwald – Dr. Fr. Löhner-Beda) Paul Abraham and his Orchestra with the Four Admirals (vocal) Parlophon P 9552-1 / 21759 and 9553-2 / 21760-2 (a 12 inch – 30 cm record) Berlin, 1930. “Victoria and her Hussar” was like “The Flower of Hawaii” another enormous succes for composer Paul Abraham (1891-1960). Many of the wellknown songs from his operetta’s are recorded by a great varity of international performers. The record here is a long playing medley like “”The Flower of Hawaii” presented two weeks ago on this channel. It is very tragic that Paul Abraham and his lyricist Dr. Fritz Löhner Beda (1883 Wildenschwert – 1942 Auschwitz) were both victems of the German second World War regime .
