Luigi Bernauer
Luigi Bernauer (born October 1, 1899 in Vienna , † January 11, 1945 in Oslo ; actually Ludwig Bernhuber ) was an Austrian cabaret artist, composer, interpreter and actor. He is considered a typical pop singer of his time with a Viennese touch.
Life
After the First World War , Bernauer, who actually wanted to take up a commercial profession, turned to music. He performed in Viennese cabaret and became a popular radio and record singer during the 1920s and 1930s. Bernauer mastered the entire international hit repertoire of the time and made countless recordings. Some recordings with Wiener Schrammel company have also been preserved under his actual first name Ludwig . Bernauer composed one of the most famous Viennese songs of the late 1930s, The Old Rack Railway .
During the Second World War he was often involved in looking after the troops . He died on one such tour.
At that time, many record producers had different singers make recordings under often the same, fixed pseudonyms . Bernauer also recorded for the then largest European record company, the German Carl Lindström AG, as Fred Lustig Schlager, which were marketed by the then very well-known record brand Odeon . Bernauer's recordings were partially placed under film actors in their singing roles.
