Paganini



With "Paganini" (Vienna, 1925), his 25th stage work, Franz Lehár began an
impressive new creative period that was intimately linked to his
collaboration with the famous tenor Richard Tauber. The rejuvenation of
Lehár's creative powers enabled him to reach new artistic heights. The
enormous success achieved by these works prove how right he was in not
merely trying to make people laugh, but also to provide them with
emotionally moving situations. One of the most beautiful melodies in the
work is "Gern hab' ich die Frau'n geküsst", which summarizes Paganini's
entire world and reflects the composer's inimitable grace and charm.
