| Description |
For the first time on CD, this popular studio cast recording features MET stars Dorothy Kirsten & Robert Rounseville. Since 1907, Franz Lehar's The Merry Widow has been a classic of the American musical theater.
The Merry Widow possesses a glamor and innocent sophistication that is as fresh as ever, with a matchless mingling of Paris and Vienna when the century was new. Most important is the celebrated "Merry Widow Waltz," I Love You So. Incomparably romantic, it amounts to an apotheosis of all operetta waltzes, unmatched in atmosphere and melody.
This complete bubbling presentation with English lyrics by Adrian Ross is digitally remastered to capture the lighthearted cheerfulness of the original production. A cast of distinguished singing actors headed by Dorothy Kirsten and Robert Rounseville contribute their talents to this sparkling evocation of a joyous past.
Recorded by Columbia in 1952. |
