Описание: Adam ASTON & Ork. pod dyr. Henryka Warsa (Henryk Wars Orch.) – Gdy Odejdziesz (When You’re Gone) Tango (Ferszko – Lipski), Syrena-Electro 1936 (Polish)

NOTE: Composer of this song Stanisław Ferszko (Shmuel Fershko) b. 1914 in Łuck, Poland – d. 1990 in Florida, USA) was in the 1930s a pianist and author of popular hits in Poland , who later became a very important name in Israeli music heritage. He was a child prodigy who, thanks to personal involvement of prof. Zbigniew Drzewiecki - who discovered his talent - completed the prestigeous Warsaw Conservatory in the class of piano. In age of 23, Ferszko composed the operetta “Polowanie na lamparta” (The Leopard Hunt) which was staged in Teatr 8.30 in Warsaw and later also in Vienna and Paris. He worked at the popular dance orchestra Front & Heyman Jazz in Warsaw and performed as a solo pianist in various night clubs of Warsaw of the 1930s, such as Paradis or Krzywa Latarnia (A Crooked Streetlamp). He composed many immensely popular hits, including slowfox from the theatre Banda “Bo to się zwykle tak zaczyna” (That’s How It Usually Begins; 1934)    • Polish Hit: Tadeusz Olsza- Bo to się zwykl...   or tango-serenade “Maleńka” (My Tiny Baby; 1933)    • Adam Aston - Maleńka (My Little Baby), 1933   . He also accompanied and composed songs for the stage diseuse Wiera Gran, including tango “Gdy odejdziesz” (When You’re Gone) which became one of her greatest hits. In spite of a successful life, Stanisław Ferszko decided to join the action of Jewish settlement in Palestine and moved to Tel Aviv in 1937. He played in the Małałe theater, as well as Li-La-Lo and Ochel. Known as "The Israeli Gershwin," he became very popular in later Israel, many think his songs Beb el Wad, Jeep and Moti are Jewish folksongs. In 1952 he was hired by NBC to go to America where until his death in 1990 he composed tunes, musicals and directed the NY Symphony Orchestra.

Here, this beautiful song is performed by the fabulous duet of artists: Adam Aston, who was one of the most popular crooners in prewar Warsaw, and dance orchestra directed by Henryk Wars - a distinguished jazz-dance band leader and composer of many Polish prewar hits.
