By request the Oskar Joost version of the wonderful tango "Schön ist die Nacht". It is an interesting comparison to the Kurt Widmann version. Both men had very different ideas and views about music, Widmann being "king of swing" and Joost being close to the Reichsmusikkammer and a party member.
Without going into the details of Oskar Joost's character, life and views it is safe to say he certainly knew how to deliver a tango. The vocals on this recording are provided by Otto-Gerd Fischer.
The video is the same as the Kurt Widmann video.
