Notes
Victor Herbert’s three-act 1914 score (Henry Blossom’s song lyrics) -- the clash between a young female composer and an egotistical Broadway librettist based on a play by Frank Mandel, is offered in a new performance edition by Michael Phillips. His revision resulted in a reworking of the lengthy Mandel-Blossom dialog, entailed some minor repositioning of several musical numbers, but left Herbert’s score and Blossom’s actual song lyrics intact. All music is presented on this recording with a truncated version of Phillips’ snappy book. The score is charming with the solo cello prominent and the lead soprano getting the best song, explained by Victor Herbert’s own distinguished career as a cellist and his wife’s position with the Met Opera.

Reviews
"... If you like Victor Herbert, if you like musical comedy, this Albany recording of The Only Girl is recommended..."
Bill White - Fanfare - March/April 2016
Although the generally excellent score is unknown today, the most beautiful song is ’When You’re Awayl, which is played at the beginning and end of the show to show the developing affection of the writers for one another. The two main leads, Erdos-Knapp and Mendoza, sing and act vey effectively; and the remaining cast gives spirited performances. The orchestra plays well, and the sound isvery good
