Berlin Cabaret - Adolf Ginsburg Orch. 1930 video

Among all great Weimar Republic orchestras, Adolf Ginsburg remains the misterious personality. All what is known for sure from his life are thefacts that he was a violinist, he came to Germany from St. Petersburgh (probvably, with the whole great wave of the Russian emigrants after the Bolshevik Revolution), and that in the late 1920s he established his own dance orchestra in Berlin. He soon became so succesful as to be employed to play in the most fashionable restaurants and Tanz-Diele of Berlin (e.g. Cafe Berlin). Not much record remains about his activites after 1933 - the year when he, as most of the Jews living in Germany, perhaps became an emigrant to America - to eventually fade in the crowd of the first class vibrant & new style American players, who emerged in the US after the Great Depression.
