Arie des Serse,
der die Schatten spendende Platane besingt,
zu Beginn des ersten Akts von Händels Serse.

Die mit Larghetto überschriebene Arie wurde in vielerlei Bearbeitungen als das »Largo von Händel« sehr populär.

He began study voice in Milan and Munich, and in 1927 followed his theater debut in Darmstadt. In the same years came also his first record into being.
He joined up with the Norddeutscher Rundfunk at the end of the 20's and found there his real profession where he had his biggest successes. Herbert Ernst Groh became a darling of the public in no time.

The opera didn't play an important part in his career, his field of activity was the radion and from 1933 also the talkies.
