Description
This is a world premi?®re recording of the complete operetta. An operetta with musical elements of true opera, 'Jabuka' (Das Apfelfest), is Johann Strauss the Younger's fourteenth stage work. An annual Apple Festival in the Serbian town of Ravica is an opportunity for local young people to choose a partner. The girl bites an apple, gives it to her chosen boy, and if he also takes a bite, the match is made. It is against this backdrop that the impoverished noblemen, Mirko and Vasil, find a way out of their difficulties by finding rich brides at the Apple Festival of the title. With its strikingly fresh and original melodies, great ensembles and some of the finest choruses Strauss ever wrote, 'Jabuka' was a huge success at its premi?®re in Vienna in October 1894.
