"Lehar himself was the founder of the silver operetta era and ... his unforgettable melodies have become the symbol of a Viennese musical culture that is still very close to the orchestra's heart, as well as being one of its main areas of expertise. An important premiere venue for many of Lehar's operettas was the Theater an der Wien, where the Vienna Symphony Orchestra recorded this concert under the expert direction of Manfred Honeck. The recording features such illustrious singers from the Vienna State Opera ensemble as the Finnish soprano Camilla Nylund and the tenors Piotr Beczala and Michel Schade, performing the most popular melodies and rousing numbers from Lehar ... The documentary skilfully combines certain periods of Lehar's life with excerpts of works recorded especially for this project by the world class Vienna Symphony Orchestra. The interview with Lehar which forms the framework of the film is fictitious, although the composer's answers were compiIed from reliable sources and are therefore authentic. This film provides an interesting insight into diverse aspects of Lehar's Iife and work based on authentic sources, while the music recordings offer a highly enjoyable experience for music lovers".

"Nytårskoncerter er kommet på mode ... Nyheden kommer fra Dresden, hvor Christian Thielemann som hovedværk dirigerer fra Lehárs "Den glade enke" ... Generelt er disse nytårsfester bedst at have sammen med billeder på dvd, hvor det ikke generer, at den velklingende Christopher Maltman som grev Danilo og Renée Fleming som enken fløjet ind på dagen fra New York ikke er den absolutte operettetop. Det er derimod Christian Thielemanns og Staatskapelle Dresdens klangsmukke, charmerende og vuggende musiceren".
