Author: Andrew Lamb

Lehar’s gloriously tuneful, sumptuously scored final stage work was composed for Richard Tauber and the Vienna State Opera. This loving performance is distinguished less by Kmentt’s vibrant but slightly harsh Octavio than by Gueden’s sensuous performance of the title-role, together with Decca’s excellent supporting cast. The addition of elegantly performed excerpts from Der Zarewitsch makes this an outstandingly generous bargain that should be snapped up by all lovers of Lehar.'
