Light opera and musical theatre rub shoulders in this delightful compendium of favourites from the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century favourites. With a few exceptions, such as Lehár's Merry Widow, many of the operettas from which these songs and arias are taken are largely forgotten and seldom performed, but their 'hits' remain evergreen.This reissue includes the original sleeve notes by Ronald Hill that accompanied the original LP release.

"What is immediately obvious is Sutherland's own delight in singing this music, an the accompaniments have matching infectious qualities, with Bonynge obviously entirely at home, providing the necessary light touch and idiomatic feeling for rubato. The sumptuous recording catches the glory of Sutherland's voice to perfection against a sparkingly rich orchestral and vocal backing." (Penguin Guide)
