About
Following his first reading of the libretto, Franz Lehár wrote of the sparks inspiring him to write his Paganini operetta: ‘Already the first scene with the fascinating violin playing from afar got me thinking. I continued to read – and music streamed toward me from every character, from every situation.’ This extraordinary creative vision is bought to life by the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, the Muenchner Rundfunkorchester and Ulf Schirmer in this new recording on CPO.
