Isola Bella -- Lied (Musik: Paul Lincke, Text: H.Bolten-Baeckers) ) Herbert Ernst Groh, Tenor mit Odeon Künstler-Orchester, Kapellmeister Otto Dobrindt, Odeon ca 1930 NOTE: Herbert Ernst GROH (b. 1905 in Lucerne, Switzerland -- d. 1982 Norderstedt near Hamburg, Germany) - popular Swiss tenor, who tied his career with Germany. He studied singing in Zurich and Milan. One of his teachers was Carl Beines, who also taught Richard Tauber. He began his operatic career in Darmstadt in 1926, with engagements following in Frankfurt and Cologne and a successful tour of Italy in 1927, where he also began to make his first recordings using the name of Ernesto Groh. He then started to appear on German radio and after 1933 he devoted himself to developing a career as a recording artist - also making films, but soon giving up the stage - a career than lasted well into the LP era of the 1950s. During the 2nd World War his popularity grew among German soldiers, when he enganed himself in shows for the German army on various fronts. Like Marcel Wittricsch - another significant German tenor of that era -- Groh was inevitably compared to his contemporary Richard Tauber (who, due to his Jewish origin, emigrated from the nazi Germany in 1933). The critics emphasised Groh's "delicacy, and sheer technical control."
