Original Cast Recording: Richard Tauber stars as young Goethe in Lehar's historic-biographical Operetta FriederikeFranz Lehár was not the first to think of Goethe as an opera or operetta hero. There was the precedent of Giacomo Meyerbeer who in his old age wrote theatre music for a piece called La Jeunesse de Goethe. The idea of a “Singspiel” about young Goethe arose with one of Lehár’s best librettists Dr. Fritz Löhner Löhner did his outmost best to introduce historical reality though some operetta conventions had to be respected. Friederike tells the story of one of young Goethe’s great loves and the inspiration she offered him.The first Goethe was Richard Tauber (“I don’t sing operetta, I sing Lehár”) and he often co-composed his arias together with the man he called his brother without a blood tie. They are so well-tailored to Tauber’s voice and the tenor himself was such a giant of belcanto that it is almost impossible to follow in his tracks. Some of these melodies are so etched in our memory with Tauber’s voice that even the best of his successors sound a little bit out of place when they try to sing Friederike.Richard Tauber Label: Parlophone Odeon Series – RO 20116Format: Shellac, 10", 78 RPMCountry: UKOdeon, Berlin 1928-10-27Be7480 Friederike (Lehár): O, wie schön, wie wunderschön Be7481 Friederike (Lehár): Liebe, goldener Traum Orig issue 10" UK Odeon 78 rpm Condition: Better than EXCELLENT PRISTINE, plays EXCEPTIONALLY quiet rare ticksA CHOICE COPYStill there is almost an embarrassment of melodic ideas in the score. In the first act there is the wonderful first aria of Friederike (“Gott gab einen schönen Tag – God gave a beautiful day”) celebrating springtime. Then the students enter and they sing Goethe’s poem “Mit Mädchen sich vertragen – Meeting girls”, already composed by van Beethoven, though less lustily. Then the theatre Goethe makes his appearance as by that time the première public was probably already clamouring for Richard Tauber. He too has a fine and inspired slow walz to sing “O so schön, wie wunderschön – Ah, how beautiful” which is an ode to nature and the idyllic surroundings of Sesenheim (Werther’s entrance aria “O nature” in Massenet’s opera tells the same story). Then there is a short love duet between tenor and soprano inspired by another of the great German’s poems.
