Ein Entertainer von britischem Adel:

Die HMV-Aufnahmen von Noel Coward

Theaterlegende, Lebemann, Galionsfigur der Roaring Twenties: Der britische Schauspieler, Sänger, Komponist und Autor Noel Coward (1899-1973) hatte viele Facetten. Man reibt sich verwundert die Augen angesichts der Geschwindigkeit, mit der er Songs, Revuen und Komödien hervorbrachte, sie selbst interpretierte und damit die Fähigkeiten von Showgrößen und Zeitgenossen wie George Gershwin, Frank Sinatra und vielen anderen in sich vereinte. Ein fonografischer Schatz sind seine Aufnahmen des Labels His Masters Voice, die nun als willkommene Wiederauflage nach mehr als 20 Jahren in einer 4-CD-Box erscheinen.

Es sind Dokumente der Jahre 1928 bis 1953, die diese Edition vereint – und mit ihnen den bestechenden Originalsound jener Zeit. In mehr als 70 der insgesamt 80 Tracks interpretiert Coward eigene Lieder, daneben Songs von Kollegen wie Cole Porter oder Jerome Kern. Es sind Stationen eines Lebens zwischen den Höhen des Showbusiness der Goldenen Jahre und Tiefen der damit verbundenen Skandale: Coward, aus einfachen Verhältnissen stammend, aber schon als Kind ein Theatertalent, geriet als junger Homosexueller in die Kreise der höheren Gesellschaft, wurde gar der Geliebte des Duke of Kent.

Nach seinem Durchbruch erntete er als Truppenunterhalter im Zweiten Weltkrieg große Erfolge, bevor ihn sein Weg bis nach Las Vegas führte. Als ihn kein geringerer als King George VI. für die Ritterwürde vorschlug, lehnte Premierminister Churchill ab: Cowards extravaganter Lebensstil war ihm ein Dorn im Auge. Erst Elizabeth II. sollte ihn zum »Sir« ernennen – nur wenige Jahre nach Cowards Tod in seiner Wahlheimat Jamaica.
