Franz Lehars Der Graf von Luxemburg bubbles over with catchy melodies, and dramaturgically it is the masters finest operetta. A glowing review for the operettas 2011 Osnabruck premiere in Opernwelt spurred the decision to undertake this 2012 recording. It stated, in part: The conductor Daniel Inbal passionately and elegantly brings out Lehars intimate salon tone with the [orchestra] members play(ing) with the highest animation, carefully also in the postludes and transitional pieces One feels empathy and great seriousness in the discerning treatment of the subject matter.
