Viktoria Und Ihr Husar: Festival Orchester Morbisch (2016)

Victoria and Her Hussar is a rare pearl of the glamorous revue-operetta that is not often presented. Even in Mörbisch, this piece could only be heard twice: in 1960 and most recently in 1973, over forty years ago with Johannes Heesters, amongst others. This does no harm to the popularity of the melodies, however: “Meine Mama war aus Yokohama”, “Mausi, süß warst du heute Nacht”, “Reich mir zum Abschied noch einmal die Hände” and “Pardon, Madame” are just a few of the evergreens that invite listeners to sing along.
