Blindekuh was Johann Strauss II’s sixth operetta and his least known. Neglected for well over a century, it was revived by Dario Salvi and the forces on this album in January 2019. The work’s initial lack of success is hard to explain but it may have been caused by a confusing libretto—the music itself is vibrant and captivating with waltzes, polkas, mazurkas, marches and bel canto arias. Performed in a concert version without dialogue, and in accordance with performing traditions, this production restores the work to the status of one of Strauss’s most melodically seductive works.

In diesem essential wendet sich Jörn Pachl an Fachleute des deutschen Bahnbetriebs, die sich über charakteristische Unterschiede ausländischer Betriebsverfahren gegenüber den im deutschen Bahnwesen üblichen Grundsätzen informieren möchten. Obwohl die technischen Grundzüge von Eisenbahnen überall gleich sind, zeigt der Autor, dass die Betriebsverfahren in erheblichem Maß differieren. Die Unterschiede liegen nicht im Detail, sondern betreffen selbst grundlegende Definitionen im System Bahn.
