"Merry Widow", which is one of the pronouns of operetta, is a masterpiece that represents the second Vienna operetta era called "Silver Age", and overall operetta tends to choose the listener in Japan. It is a work that is well listened to and has many fans. Many sound sources have been released so far, but few recordings are on the right side of this 1962 recording of Matachitchi. It can be said that it is a masterpiece along with DG's Karajan board. And Schwarzkopf, who is celebrating the 15th anniversary of her death this year, is one of the attractions in this performance, and this re-recording of her is a masterpiece that will remain in the history of recording by EMI, producer and husband at the time. I feel a strong desire to do so. Gorgeous casting including one-of-a-kind singing, the dignity and voice quality of the singers, and Matachic's reliable reins are wonderful. The masterpiece, which can be said to be the ultimate ideal image of this work, has been recorded on one sheet, including dialogue scenes. The state of the master tape is also good, and the sound quality is also wonderful. This board, which is fascinated by many famous songs and songs, has also been revived with high sound quality. With SACD, which is suitable for voice, you can enjoy even more wonderful sound quality.
