Hungarian colour, wonderful melodies, brilliant orchestral writing and, last but not least, a story that supported a democratic social system where it was OK for a prince to marry a cabaret performer.

"This is a sumptuous set of highlights, with soloists of international fame, full orchestra and chorus. In the leading roles, one could ask for no more experienced a pair than Nicolai Gedda and Anneliese Rothenberger. Both have the feel for operetta, and their projection is quite wonderful. As well, the subsidiary couple, Olivera Miljakovié and Willi Brokmeier also achieve stylish singing, with the lightness and simplicity ideally required by the work. The admirable contribution from Wolfgang Anheisser makes one mourn the tragic loss of this fine singer at such an early age. The orchestra, under the direction of Willy Mattes, offers an agreeable bounce and looseness of limb in the playing. Anyone who wants a nice set of highlights of this winning score could not expect to find it more sumptuously and thoughtfully done." Gramophone
