Getting smaller! Normal reception will be restored as soon as possible! ::) :o

I had this on a Eurodisc 2 Lp set,when I was a youngster. It was paired with excerpts from operettas by Paul Abraham(1892-1960),who composed,jazz operettas,which are now currently enjoying a revival in Europe. It was filled out with some other pieces by Leo Fall.  There are just over 16 minutes of The Rose of Stambul here in this recording of excerpts made in 1962. Rudolf Schock sounds just great & has just the sort of tenor voice these operettas need.Erika Köth sounds lovely in the Leo Fall & Carl Millöcker (Die Dubarry). This was before she started to sound like Larry the Lamb!* ("I'm only a little lamb,Mr Mayor,Sir!"). But,with soloists a choir & orchestra this good (and they are! :)) why couldn't they have recorded the whole operetta?!! ::)

Rudolf Schock had a lovely tenor voice that was just right for these operettas & made allot of recordings of this repertory. He seems to have been more well known in Germany & Austria and he was a big star there. He also had the sort of suave good looks I wish I had!! :( Although,he reminds me a bit of Tommy Cooper in that hat!




*It could have been worse?!!! :o
