Anton De Ridder, Sylvia Geszty, Jon Piso, Julia Migenes, Cesare Curzi, Erich Kunz, Trudeliese Schmidt, Karl Dönch & Ljuba Welitsch Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Münchner Rundfunkorchester, Kurt Eichhorn 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” |

Outside the world of the gramophone you would never expect to encounter an operetta with a cast like this one”. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
