Friedrich Hollaender & Blandine Ebinger - Vaführe mir liebers nicht (Lieder, Chansons)

Friedrich Holländer was the son of the operetta composer Victor Holländer. He studied in Berlin with Engelbert Humperdinck and he worked there for the cabaret "Schall und Rauch".

There he met the actress Blandine Ebinger. They married and had a daughter, Philine. Blandine performed his songs and he was also one of the founders of the first jazz band in Berlin, the "Weintraub Syncopators".

From 1929 onwards he worked mainly as a composer of film music and his score for "Der Blaue Engel" (with Marlene Dietrich) brought him fame. When the nazi's seized power in 1933 he left for Paris with his second wife Hedi Schoop and in 1934 they moved on to Hollywood, where he worked as a director and a composer. He was married a third and a fourth time, and by his third wife Leza he had another daughter in 1944, Melodie. In 1955 he returned to Germany and settled in Munich. There he wrote for cabarets once more, but without the succes of his earlier years.

Blandine Ebinger was a german actress and singer (1899 - 1993). She was the daughter of the actress Margarete Wezel and pianist Gustav Loerser. Blandine was adopted by the physician Dr. Ernst Ebinger. With eight years she was already on the stage in Leipzig. From 1913 onwards she worked at the theatres in Berlin.

She made her film debut in 1916 and in 1919 she was in F.W. Murnau's movie "Der Knabe in Blau".

During the twenties she was famous for singing chansons, many of them written by her husband Friedrich Hollaender. Blandine performed in several anti-Nazi cabarets in Germany and moved in 1937 to the USA. She had a hard time there and was given only minor parts. In 1946 she returned to Europe. After performing in Zürich she went back to Berlin, where she did theatre, movies and television.
