Over five decades he recorded prolifically, became a beloved television personality, and represented the cosmopolitan glamour of mid-century entertainment. Though the British and American record industries largely overlooked him, he remained a major figure in German-speaking Europe. This 1998 in-memoriam collection gathers his definitive recordings, showcasing his impeccable phrasing and genuine charisma. A rewarding introduction to a tradition and artist that deserves far wider recognition.
