Lehár: Der Graf von Luxemburg

Operetta Film from 1972


Eberhard Wächter (Graf von Luxemburg), Lilian Sukis (Angele Didier), Erich Kunz (Fürst Basil), Peter Fröhlich (Armand Brissard), Helga Papouschek (Juliette Vermont), Jane Tilden (Stasa Kokozow), Lilian Sukis (Eberhard Waechter) & Kurt Sowinetz (Erich Kunz)

Symphony Orchestra Kurt Graunke, Munich, Walter Goldschmidt (conductor) & Wolfgang Glück (director)

With its charmingly romantic theme, effective stage action and abundance of spirited and delicate moods, this Parisian-flavoured libretto gave Franz Lehár every opportunity to display his talent. After the sensational success of the “Merry Widow” (1905), Lehár completed this operetta in only three weeks in 1909 and at first referred to it himself as „a slovenly piece of work“. Once again, however, impulsiveness and spontaneity proved to be the ingredients of an outright success. „The Count of Luxembourg“ is - with regard to its inventiveness, originality and instrumental colouring - on a par with Lehár‘s other international successes. This film version offers a wealth of artistic entertainment, with a superb cast that includes Eberhard Wächter, Lilian Sukis, Erich Kunz, Jane Tilden, Peter Fröhlich and Helga Papouschek.

“Erich Kunz makes a dapper and dashing but dignity-affronted Basil and nearly steals every scene in which he appears...An enchanted evening of romance and comedy with some of Lehár’s loveliest waltz songs delivered by a first class ensemble of singers.” MusicWeb International, July 2012

This month sees the re-release of TER’s series of Operetta recordings with The New Sadlers Wells Opera, which includes two classic recordings of the work of Franz Lehar, the first of these being The Count of Luxembourg. Recorded in digital, this series of recordings include in the casts such artists as Marilyn Hill Smith, Elddwen Harrhy, Ramon Remedios, Neil Jenkins and Joan Davies.

These operettas, performed by The New Sadlers Wells Opera, are sung in English, recordings of which had been previously unavailable until this groundbreaking TER series, so are very welcome releases for the many opera enthusiasts who seek out opera recordings in English.

In ‘The Count Of Luxembourg’, the New Sadler’s Wells Opera Chorus and Orchestra provide us with exquisite versions of such classics as “Tell Me Can This Be Love” and “Love’s a Dream”, digitally recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
