Zauber der Musik The Magic of Music Johann Strauss Orchestra Frankfurt Günther Gräf Deborah Lynn Cole (soprano) Compact Disc Total time: 71:52 Min.
	Go on a musical journey to the past together with the Johann Strauss Orchestra Frankfurt and the soprano Deborah Lynn Cole. Come with us to the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy and its political and cultural centre Vienna. Let us enchant you with waltzes, polkas and songs from operettas by Franz von Suppé and Johann Strauss Jr, composers of the so-called golden era of the operetta (end of the 19th century), and by Franz Lehár and Emmerich Kálmán, classified as belonging to the silver era of the operetta (beginning of the 20th century). We have also included musical gems by Johann Strauss Sr, Carl Michael Ziehrer and Johann Schrammel, all having worked in Vienna. Luigi Arditi and Franz Grothe bring up the rear. Although he has no Viennese blood Franz Grothe's music for the UFA film Tanz mit dem Kaiser with the Austrian Emperor Joseph II as central figure absolutely hits the perfect Viennese note. Finally Luigi Arditi's waltz Il bacio is so typically stylistic of a Vienna waltz that it is immediately connected to Vienna. This virtuosic vocal waltz gives Deborah Lynn Cole the opportunity to pull out all the stops and send you in the magical world of music.
