About

Hungarian composer Paul Abrahám enjoyed huge success across Europe with his ‘jazz operettas’, not least in Weimar Berlin where his works scored for an orchestra augmented by a jazz band caused a sensation. Ballim Savoy (‘Ball at the Savoy’) has a plot reminiscent of Die Fledermaus and its variety of influences, some European and some reflective of contemporary American popular song, won the kind of acclaim only equaled by Franz Lehár. The premiere, which took place in December 1932, was for some the last major cultural event of Weimar Germany.

“… this is a delightful discovery and I am hoping Naxos will find its way to release more recordings from the Folks Operetta repertoire as I will certainly be watching out for more.”

“…Just plain fun”

Benjamin Künzel – klassik.com – 26 August 2021

"... with their limited forces and clearly limitless enthusiasm, Folks Operetta and Naxos have plugged another important gap in the operetta iscography, and that's never a bad thing."

Richard Bratby - Gramophone magazine - October 2021
