This beloved operetta, which takes place during Carnival celebrations in 18th-century in Venice, shows Strauss’s descriptive writing at its best, helped by his love of Italy. Eine Nacht in Venedig inspired Strauss to compose some of his most successful operetta-music. The Italian atmosphere, the sun, the sea and the Venetian way of life appealed to his creative imagination The stellar cast includes such eminent singer as Anton de Ridder, Sylvia Geszty, Julia Migenes and Trudeliese Schmiedt; Kurt Eichhorn conducts the Münchner Rundfunkorchester This film-production from 1973 was made by the well known Czech conductor and stage director Vaclav Kaslik Among other songs in this operetta, two in particular immediately come to the music-lover´s mind: the infatuating yearning “Komm in die Gondel mein Liebchen” and the captivating waltz “Ach wie so herrlich zu schauen sind all die reizenden Frauen” | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Daniel Buckard (tenor), Pierre Gylbert, Johan Christensson (tenors), Erika Andersson, Anna Larsdotter Persson (mezzo-sopranos), Merete L. Meyer, Anna-Maria Krawe, Kristina Hansson (sopranos) & Henrik Holmberg (tenor) Coro Notturno & Stockholm Strauss Orchestra, Mika Eichenholz Strauss’s sparkling score for A Night in Venice enjoyed considerable success around the world. Although later arranged by Korngold, it is heard here in its original version and free from spoken dialogue. When the lady-killer Duke of Urbino decides to seduce Barbara, the most beautiful woman in town, at a masked ball, the scene is set for an unforgettable night. But the duke’s barber, Caramello, hands out the invitations to his working-class friends instead of the cream of society, and mistaken identities contribute another hilarious chapter to the war of the sexes. “The standard of performance is high. I especially like Pierre Glybert's ringing tones in Caramello's entrance song and the pert Ciboletta and Pappacoda of Kristina Hansson and Henrik Holmberg...no enthusiast for this gorgeous score shoud miss this chance to hear, virtually complete, what Strauss managed without help” Gramophone Magazine, July 2010 | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Recorded 25th – 28th and 31st May and 25th September, 1954 in Kingsway Hall, London “[On the original 1955 release] A Night in Venice (1883), with the canals running with schmaltz and many a German joke about macaroni and La donna being mobile,may put off the ultra austere, but I think you would have to be pretty stiff not to surrender… This set speaks for itself. Outside the world of the gramophone you would never expect to encounter an operetta with a cast like this one.” Gramophone Magazine | | | (also available to download from $8.75) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
