Composed in but a
few weeks by a youth in his early twenties, this
masterpiece
which premiered at the
Zurich Opera
House will no doubt come down in the hall of
fame
alongside such gems as Johann Strauss' Die Fledermaus!
Featuring a wealth of compositional styles
ranging from gorgeous
� la Brahms melodies
to effervescently
rhythmical pieces, including jazzy and Klezmer
tunes,
set to idiosyncratic, intricate, lush harmonies,
the work was performed to high acclaim
throughout Europe during the 11 months
between
its premiere in 1937 and its banishment at the
Anschluss,
with such celebrities as Superstar Tenor
Richard Tauber
slated to star in it...
Thanks to Joseph
Beer's publisher,
Doblinger Musikverlag
in Vienna
for orchestrating this important movement forward
in the long-awaited major revival of a
Masterpiece!!
