Brigadoon
The Vienna Volksoper began its series of successful semi-staged musical productions in the original language with South Pacific in 2010. In December 2019, the last highlight was set for the time being: the Austrian premiere of Lerner & Loewe's magical musical fairy tale Brigadoon. The first masterpiece of the later My Fair Lady creators marked the beginning of their world fame in 1947. The new live recording not only contains the well-known hits of the work (including the opening chorus "Brigadoon", "The Heather on the Hill", "Almost Like Being in Love", "Come to me, bend to me" and "From this Day on "), but also, for the first time on recordings, the entire ballet music including the moving, bagpipes shaped" funeral music ". Most of the dialogues have been replaced by German narrative texts - both the English translations and the German version of the lyrics can be found in the booklet. A group of first-class soloists, choir, youth choir and the large orchestra of the Volksoper under the direction of the musical professional Lorenz C. Aichner make the recording a treat for friends of the classic Broadway musical
