Description: This 1927 work marked the beginning of Lehár and Tauber's most productive and most lucrative period. In Lehár's late style, the music is serious and dramatic for the leading couple and lighter for the subsidiary couple and, in keeping with the prevailing mood, the ending is unhappy. 2 CDs. No libretto. Alexandra Reinprecht, Christina Landshamer (sopranos), Matthias Klink, Andreas Winkler (tenors), Bavarian Radio Chorus, Munich Radio Orchestra; Ulf Schirmer.
