German Acoustics from Onkel Greifenklau - Free Audiobook

„Onkel Greifenklau“ is a YouTube channel of an anonymous record collector, who is posting since a few years records from his collection with a still photo of the label. His collection includes mostly early and acoustic opera recordings from France, Italy and Germany. He features rare labels and elusive records. He also posts sometimes cylinder recordings, Pathé recordings and popular early acoustic recordings. I have downloaded some of his soundtracks as MP3 for my pleasure and share it here with you at archive.org. I recommed to visit his channel on

and hope that Onkel Greifenklau will sometimes also discover the possibilities of archive.org and has no objection when I distribute his recordings here in full appreciation of his work and his fine collection!

I have made screenshots only of a few labels. If you search them or want to look and listen for yourself: all records should be still available at YouTube.

MARSCHALLIN sanft.

Quin-quin, Er soll jetzt gehn, Er soll mich lassen.

Ich wird jetzt in die Kirchn gehn

und später fahr ich zum Onkel Greifenklau,

der alt und gelähmt ist,

und eß mit ihm; das freut den alten Mann.

(1. Akt Rosenkavalier – Richard Strauss / Hugo von Hoffmannsthal)
