OA1021: Marinka

Emmerich Kálmán’s Marinka

This 1945 Broadway romantic musical is a happy-end version of the infamous Mayerling episode in Austrian history –the mysterious double suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf and his teenaged mistress Maria Vetsera. This world premiere recording of the entire Broadway score includes cut numbers, the complete ballet music, and features nine singers with two-piano accompaniment. Hit songs include “Only one touch of Vienna,” “The cab song,” Sigh by night,” and the quite risqué “When I auditioned for the harem of the shah.”
