Selma Kurz sings "Csardas" from "Die Fledermaus" by Strauus. Although recorded over full 12 inch side, she made small cut. Very furious or feuerig performance.

  • @AulicExclusiva This Czardas seems to have brought out the wild side of other singers who are normally more restrained, such as the late, great Joan Sutherland. I wonder how Schumann-Heink might have handled it!

  • @AulicExclusiva

    ... just as you describe! Not used to hearing Kurz like this. Thanks to mabuo16 for posting, and to AE  for sharing!

  • @AulicExclusiva Everyone's favorite opera critic, John Steane, criticizes this recording as being too reckless. I respectfully disagree and think Kurz sings this music in the appropriate style. It surely is a departure, as you mention, from her usually reserved emotional expression. I also love Rethberg's singing of the piece. Thanks for sending, AE, and thanks to mabuo16 for posting!

  • There's a bit of blasting, but nothing can obscure the sensuous beauty of this voice, or the gusto of the singing, not quite as lady-like as the usual Kurz! Bewitching. And fiery indeed!

    Thanks, Mabuo 16!
