Tales from Vienna An evening to celebrate the glitzy effervescence and champagne-romance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as evoked by the music of the Golden and Silver Ages of Viennese Operetta. To flavour the atmosphere and elegance of the music, a richly informative narration waltzes you back in time to the diplomatic society of the late 1800s, and the Tell-tale Tales from Vienna! Featured composers include Johann Strauss, Franz Lehar, Karl Zeller, Rudolf Sieczynski, Richard Tauber and Erich Korngold. "You are my Heart's Delight" by Franz Lehár was sung with vigorous energy and attention to detail by Anderson-Hall and McOran-Campbell did a very good job on My Heart and I by Richard Tauber with his rich baritone voice" "...selections by Erich Korngold and Sieczynski that caught the atmosphere of Old Vienna very neatly throught the vibrant voices of the two singers...a sonorous blend of the two voices" (Newbury Weekly News, October 2007) Gallery One: Songs of the Phoenix >> Gallery Two: Legend of Tantuna >> Gallery Three: Handel's Messiah >> Gallery Five: Gala Concert 3 singers >> Gallery Six: Gala Concert 4 singers >> |
