Phantom Dancer :: 12:00pm 30th Oct 2018
THANK YOU
This week’s Phantom Dancer has a set of 1930s-40s swing by request of Jonathan, a supporter who called during last week’s 2SER Supporter Drive.
I’ve chosen four commercial releases of stage and film songs written by the prolific German composer and child prodigy, Peter Kreuder.
Thank you to everyone who called and went online to become 2SER financial supporters during this year’s 2SER Phantom Dancer Supporter Drive.
You keep The Phantom Dancer going.

PETER KREUDER
Peter Kreuder was a German pianist, composer and conductor. He was a child prodigy who enrolled as a piano student in the Cologne Conservatorium at age four and gave his first concert at age five.
He wrote popular and art songs, operettas, musicals, a piano concerto and two operas.
Most importantly for today’s Phantom Dancer he also wrote stage and film music with a lot of swing style.
Beginning by helping arrange the musical score to Marlene Dietrich’s breakthrough film, The Blue Angel, in 1930, he went on to write music for around 150 movies.
He became Germany’s most in-demand film composer in the 1930s and 40s. All his songs in this week’s Phantom Dancer come from this period.
He was so important to the German film industry that he was forced to return to Germany from Sweden (to where he had emigrated in 1939) after Nazi threats to his relatives in Germany. Kreuder had been a Nazi Party member from 1932-34 when he resigned.
After the war he took Austrian citizenship. He conducted radio orchestras in Argentina and Brazil in the 1940s, writing again for German film in the 1950s and writing two memoirs.
VIDEO
This week’s Phantom Dancer video of the week features Peter Kreuder’s music in the 1939 German western, ‘Wasser für Canitoga’.
