Latvijan tango: Marek Weber’s Tanz-Orchester - Dark Eyes, 1931

Schwarze Augen (Oskar Strock) - Marek Weber und sein Orchester, mit russischem Refraingesang, Electrola 1931 (Germany) NOTE: I think, this Oskar Strock’s masterpiece is one of the most beautiful European tangos of the 1930s and I hope, our dear Friend, Camille does not mind that I’m once more uploading it 11 months after Camille’s site had presented it for the first time - however, in a slightly different version. The differences are predominantly of technical nature: Camille’s is a HMV recordding while here we have a German pressing, by Electrola. Perhaps it is why the Camille’s “Black Eyes“ [or “Dark Eyes“, as I put it] is played as if softer, while Electrola presents the broader volume and more powerful dynamics. Maybe it’s a question of two different kinds of shellac? Neverthelers, Camile’s slideshow of Dark-eyed beauties is superb and I persuade everyone to go there and see it at: Also, available in Y
