Operetta's, !

The 10 Annelise Rothenberger discs have arrived. Life enhancing stuff. I thought I would not make my way through the entire set, but I am enjoying the discs a lot by playing one a day.

There are a lot of duets with other post war singers and melody abounds. I looked forward to the Merry Widow excerpts, but there seemed less satisfactory than the other performances. There is a bit of mucking the music about with altered vocal lines. Some pieces are deservedly forgotten, but there is lots to enjoy and Rothenberger is a lovely presence in all that she sings.

There is some lesser known cheesey stuff thrown in there, sounds like some cheap silly Broadway tunes but also some hidden gems I had never heard before........for the ultra cheap price it's a must buy!
