Free Music Review: Food for the Soul if You Love Lehar
Hit: 3 Stars
I had fallen in love with the music of Lehar many years ago courtesy of an LP record from Reader's Digest. After getting rid of most of my LP's I went for several years just remembering his beautiful music. I decided to check Amazon for some of his music and found this CD.
I am happy to report that it provides a reasonably satisfying source of some of his beautiful melodies. The recordings were made in 1958, 1959, and 1969; their sound is acceptable but not up to contemporary standards. In spite of this they provide access to some musical beauty that warms the heart of any lover of Lehar's music.
If one were to compare Lehar with Strauss, Lehar would likely come in a close second; Lehar, however generated some of the most beautiful musical melodies ever written.
This is not a definitive collection, but it is a worthwhile addition to the library of anyone who appreciates Lehar. In fact it served as a catalyst for me to start buying some of Lehar's music on DVD.
I'm glad I have it in my collection.
