"What do we know today about this amazing theatre, about this brightest of epochs - about the Moscow Operetta Theatre of the 1930s? Strangely enough, very few people know that in the late thirties at the All-Union Radio, the Moscow Operetta Theatre recorded a number of its performances for broadcast. Until now, none of these unique and truly priceless recordings has been released in their entirety - neither in Soviet times on records, nor in our own time on CDs. Small fragments of these recordings were occasionally published on solo records showcasing the old masters of the operetta - Klaudia Novikova, Nikolay Bravin, Vladimir Volodin, Mikhail Kachalov, Evdokia Lebedeva and Serafim Anikeev. In the 1950s, some of these operettas were re-recorded. However, in these later recordings, radio soloists and even artists from the Bolshoi Theatre were often invited to sing the central roles, while in the recordings, collected in this album, from the late 1930s, we hear only artists from the Moscow Operetta Theatre. In these recordings, made with the technology of the time - on tonfilm (a film soundtrack), and subsequently transferred on to magnetic tape, the atmosphere of this legendary theatre at its creative peak was vividly conveyed. This set includes all known recordings of the Moscow Operetta Theatre performances of this period"
