Johannes Heesters, Sigrid Martikke - Viktoria Und Ihr Husar

Review by Ana Isabel Martin Borlaff

The album Viktoria Und Ihr Husar by Johannes Heesters and Sigrid Martikke is a delightful collection of classic German operetta songs. The duo's vocal performances are exceptional, with Heesters' rich baritone complementing Martikke's clear and bright soprano. The songs are beautifully arranged and expertly performed, taking the listener on a musical journey through the golden era of operetta. The album includes popular classics such as "Im Salon Zur Blauen Pagode" and "Schön Ist Die Welt," as well as lesser-known gems like "Komm, Zigan" and "Schenkt Man Sich Rosen In Tirol." The orchestration is lush and emotive, capturing the romance and excitement of the operetta genre. Viktoria Und Ihr Husar is a must-have for fans of operetta and lovers of classic German music.
