Description

Joseph SCHMIDT, tenor
Joseph Schmidt (March 4, 1904 – November 16, 1942) was an Austro-Hungarian and Romanian Jewish tenor and actor. His voice touched millions. Tenor Joseph Schmidt died in 1942 on the final leg of his escape from the Nazi regime, in the Zürcher Oberland. Even today, the Jewish singer’s story is a moving one.
In addition to German, which was his first language, and Yiddish, Joseph Schmidt learned Hebrew and became fluent in Romanian, French and English. Owing to his diminutive stature (he was just over 1.5 m, or 4' 11") a stage career was impossible; however his voice was extremely well suited for radio. He made many records, first for Ultraphone, then for Odeon/Parlophone, was featured in many radio broadcasts and acted in several movies in both German and English. It is impossible to assess how many great artists were among the casualties of the last war. We do know that Joseph Schmidt, who died at the young age of 38, was one of them.
