SISSY UND LUDWIG GEBEN SICH DIE EHRE (U1CD-3010-2)
The Ludwig Musical, set at the foot of the famous fairy-tale Castle
Neuschwanstein, revolves around its two main characters: Sissi, Empress
of Austria and Ludwig II, King of Bavaria. Barbara Buhofer and
Julian Tovey play Sissi and Ludwig, taking the audience into their magical
world each evening.
The stars of the Ludwig musical are now on tour and have recorded
their own CD - "Sissi und Ludwig geben sich die Ehre“ - with over
60 minutes of varied music. There is inspirational music from
Henry Purcell, classical from Mozart, romantic from Puccini as well
as the entire spectrum of Operetta and Musical from the "Merry Widow"
to "The Phantom of the Opera".
The three most beautiful songs from the Ludwig Musical, heard by more
than one million visitors, are at the heart of the CD. The
performances of Barbara Buhofer and Julian Tovey are, according to the
Süddeutsche Zeitung, "world-class". The japanese pianist, Mami
Teraoka, accompanies the stars with refined and sensitive perfection.
The CD was even recorded in a regal atmosphere, in the Banquet
Hall of Füssen Castle, overlooking Ludwig's fairytale Castle
Neuschwanstein.
