Lehár now began to write works that were highly demanding in vocal terms and stylistically closely modelled on the opera repertoire. The enormous success achieved by these works prove how right he was in not merely trying to make people laugh, but also to provide them with emotionally moving situations. One of the most successful operettas from this period was undoubtedly „Paganini“, which includes the immortal melody „Gern hab‘ ich die Frau’n geküsst“. Now for the first time, the legendary 1973 film version of the operetta offers an opportunity to experience once again stars like Teresa Stratas, Peter Kraus, Dagmar Koller and, last but not least, Johannes Heesters.

It must have felt eminently fitting to Franz Lehar, himself a proficient violinist, to write an operetta based on episodes in the life of the great virtuoso Paganini. Dispensing with the idea of an overture for Paganini, he even caused the show to open with an extended violin solo, almost like a miniature concerto. The story is set in Italy, at the court of Princess Anna Elisa Bacchiocchi (sister to Napoleon), and the score contains Lehar's customary impassioned and beautiful love duets, and tenor arias (written with the great tenor of the times, Richard Tauber, in mind). Jerry Hadley admirably takes over Tauber's roles on both of these recordings. As on previous releases of The Czarevitch (CD-80395) and The Land of Smiles (CD-80419), the works are sung in English. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
