Registered: 4/9/2004 | posted: 4/11/2004 at 11:06:22 PM ET 'Oh, Donna Clara' seems to be catagorized as comedy and caberet. The reference I found says it was composed by J. Petersburski and sung by Al Jolson. Although there is available a cd by Palace Orchestra out of germany or denmark, I'm not sure.
'Lilli Marlen' appears to be based on a World War I (1915) German poem by Hans Leip (a German soldier) and adapted into music by Norbert Schultze. Not sure what genre it would be called.
