"Legendary Wiera Gran (1916-2007)" CD has just been published in Poland by Polskie Nagrania MUZA - a first posthumous compilation of recordings of that great Polish singer and artists, with some contribution of myself.
Comprises her 13 songs recorded in Warsaw, 1965, 4 pre-war recordings and a 15 minutes sound of a 1949 radio tape with her great creation "Jej pierwszy bal"(Her first ball) which she first had sung in Warsaw ghetto in 1941, having been accompanied by Władysław Szpilman.
The CD presents also some unique visual materials as well as two comprehensive introductory commentaries.
Tango "Fernando" was one of favourite numbers of Miss Gran herself and was first recorded by the singer for Polish Odeon as early as 1938.
The present interpretation was recorded in 1965 during her visit to Poland.
