He was from Buchenland/Bukowina. His Jewish family spoke German at home. He was one of the most popular singers in Germany at this time. A small and shy man.
The tune is a medley which incorporates an old Irish melody called "The Last Rose of Summer" the original lyrics of which were written by Thomas Moore, one of Ireland's great music collectors and lyricists from the early 19th century. Schmidt performs it flawlessly here.
I have felt from the 50s that Joseph Schmidt had the greatest tenor voice ever recorded. This gift gives me more belief in that feeling. The last few notes without a breath is very dramatic. He would been in very good health to produce such an event. This is one i will play often.
Thanks for uploading Joseph Schmidt arias ! I believe he was the best liric tenors ever. It is such a pity he ended his life so youns a 'slave' in a Swiss Camp during WW2.
If I'd sung like that I think I might have stood there for for twenty minutes afterwards accepting the applause. He just nips off.... I mean obviously it's a film, but still you know, this is extraordinary singing.
Er war so ein unvollkommener Schauspieler, dass man immer meinen könnte, so einer gehört nicht auf eine Bühne, aber seine unerhörte Stimme macht jedes Video zu einem großen Erlebnis.
Ach! so fromm, ach! so traut Hat mein Auge sie erschaut Ach! so mild und so rein Drang ihr Bild ins Herz mir ein Banger Gram, eh' sie kam, hat die Zukungt mir umhuellt Doch mit ihr bluehte mir neues Dasein lust erfuellt Weh! es schwand, was ich fand Ach! mein Gljeck erschaut' ich kaum Bin erwacht und die Nacht raubte mir Den suessen Traum, den suessen Traum
Fate dealt a terrible hand to Joseph Schmidt, whose life was every bit as tragic as some of the operatic characters he could have played, had he not been so short in stature.
One of the greatest tenors, who died so young and so tragically.

Ich muß schon wieder weinen 😢 soooooo schön!!
Joseph Schmidt was a Most wonderful Opera singer...In this film, I love Szöke Szakal in it, the Cherub Hungarian actor ...
Ein kleiner Tenor mit einer großen Stimme - unvergessen und unerreicht!

Eine begnadete Stimme!
Notable interpretación. Una de las voces más bellas y técnica depurada.
Wonderful, thanks for uploading.
Prachtige melodie. Fraaie compositie!
Sublime! Hätten wir heute solche Tenöre...

Umwerfend. Die dahinschmelzenden Zuhörer dort oben kann ich ja sooo gut verstehen.
Kann dich aus ganzem Herzen verstehen! Umwerfend!Ich bin jedesmal wieder so fasziniert von Joseph Schmidt!!!
Ach! so fromm, ach! so traut
Hat mein Auge sie erschaut
Ach! so mild und so rein
Drang ihr Bild ins Herz mir ein
Banger Gram, eh' sie kam, hat die Zukungt mir umhuellt
Doch mit ihr bluehte mir neues Dasein lust erfuellt
Weh! es schwand, was ich fand
Ach! mein Gljeck erschaut' ich kaum
Bin erwacht und die Nacht raubte mir
Den suessen Traum, den suessen Traum
Agree with you!!
This is not an Italian opera. It is German and written by a German. and the aria is
"Ach so fromm"
