Opname: 2010
René Kollo stars in this 1974 atomspheric film version of Lehár's beloved operetta by the noted Vienese director Arthur Maria Rabenalt. Kollo - whose father and grandfather were both operetta composers and who began his own career in light music - plays Prince Sou-Chong, the role that made a celebrity of another leading 20th century tenor, Richard Tauber, and provided him with his most famous song. As performed here by René Kollo almost half a century later, "Dein ist mein ganzes herz" remains the musical highlight of this colourful romance set in Vienna and the Far East. (Deutsche Gramophon)

Opname uit 1980, met o.a. René Kollo, Iwan Rebroff en Lucia Popp, van operette uit 1927. Het boekje bevat geen libretto, maar wel beschrijvingen per bedrijf. "Der Zarewitsch is representative of the last phase of the "silver age" of operetta. It takes on an aura of serious opera and symphonic music, it includes subject matter that one also finds in the cinema of the time; and the vocal writing shows the influence of Puccini. Lehár's orchestration is refined in its use of colorful contrasts, and the stage roles are precisely characterized musically. The vocal writing in Der Zarewitsch is unabashedly lyrical, perhaps because Lehár was certain of the quality of the performers he would have for the work's first performance. " (Allmusic)
