Tango 1936: Mieczysaw Fogg & Ork. Iwo Wesby'ego - Nie moe by inaczej It Can't Be The Other Way

Mieczysław Fogg & Ork. dyr. Iwo Wesby - Nie może być inaczej? [It Can’t Be The Other Way/ When My Heart Is Silent And Asleep] Tango (Lidauer-Merlis), Syrena-Electro 1936 (Polish) NOTE: Here is another forgotten Polish pre-war tango. Mieczyslaw Fogg is as delightful as ever and a very good orchestra led by his friend Iwo Wesby - formerly conductor of the orchestra of the Qui Pro Quo theater in Warsaw and musical director of Syrena Records. Soon, the outbreak of World War II in Sept 1939 will put their friendship to a severe test. When Iwo Wesby succeeds in escaping from a Jewish ghetto in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, he will find a place to hide in Mieczyslaw Fogg's apartment. After the war ended, Wesby emigrated to Vienna and then to New York, where he was active until his death in 1966, conducting various orchestras in the clubs and venues of Polish and Jewish émigrés. But before leaving Poland, he left Mieczyslaw Fogg, as a sign of his gratitude, a portable Telefunken recording equipment, which later became the basis for Fogg to establish for some time his own record label, Fogg-Records, in the Communist-occupied Poland.
