History of Sound Recording ♪♪♪ Year = 1943 to 1945
During the war, the Allies became aware of radio broadcasts that seemed to be transcriptions (much of this due to the work of Richard H. Ranger), but their audio quality was indistinguishable from that of a live broadcast and their duration was far longer than was possible with 78 rpm discs. At the end of the war, the Allied captured a number of German Magnetophon recorders from Radio Luxembourg that aroused great interest. These recorders incorporated all of the key technological features of analogue magnetic recording, particularly the use of high-frequency "bias.
WERNER TWARDY
Werner Twardy was a German composer, arranger, pianist, organist, conductor and music producer.. He used a few alliasses when recording namely Daddy Monrou, T. W. Ardy and Dicky Gray. He worked together (early 1950s) with Bert Kaempfert (short period) and later with Kurt Edelhagen, for whose band he wrote new compositions and arrangements.
Twardy also composed some German hitsongs, most notably those performed by Roy Black, Chris Roberts and Roberto Blanco.
At the end of his career (1970s) Twardy was the musical director of ZDF TV shows such as "Musik ist Trumpf" and "Spiel Mir eine alte Melodie".
DU BIST NICHT ALLEIN
Hit for German singer Roy Black in the 1960s. Became very popular in Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg as well.
MHO
Very enjoyable arrangement of the famous Roy Black hitsong with Twardy at the hammond organ, backed by the fine orchestra of Hans Bertram.
Enjoy !
