Rediscovered! Audio recordings of Franz Lehár from 1901

Even before Franz Lehár became famous as one of the most important operetta composers, he was conducting as a military bandmaster in 1901. Eleven early recordings were made during this period. Kai-Uwe Garrels, who discovered these musical rarities, presents these unique historical documents to an enthusiastic audience.
