Nicolai Gedda - My Favourite Operetta Heroes

These legendary releases on the former Electrola label document Nicolai Gedda’s incomparable artistry in operetta. Appearing alongside such famous singers as Anneliese Rothenberger, Grace Bumbry, Rita Streich and Lucia Popp, Gedda made a number of exclusive recordings in the 1960s and 1970s, working under conductors of the eminence of Willi Boskovsky and Willy Mattes and preserving for posterity his acclaimed performances in the principal tenor roles in Lehár’s Paganini, Der Zarewitsch, Der Graf von Luxemburg and Das Land des Lächelns and Johann Strauss’s Der Zigeunerbaron. The album, released in honor of the tenor’s 90th birthday this year, brings together five complete recordings.
