Johann Strauss’ comic operetta EINE NACHT IN VENEDIG (A Night in Venice), one of the Waltz King’s major successes, delights with popular waltz and polka tunes plus vivacious Tarantella sound illustrating highly turbulent Venetian love stories. – The complete Electrola recording made in 1967 presents an all-star cast with Rita Streich, Nicolai Gedda and Hermann Prey, conducted by Franz Allers.
