Recorded in Budapest with the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra under the baton of Dirk Kaftan, Magische Töne showcases some of the most beautiful operetta and opera melodies from the golden era of the Austro‑Hungarian Empire. The album features beloved works by Emmerich Kálmán, Franz Lehár and Paul Abraham, alongside the celebrated aria Magische Töne from Karl Goldmark’s Die Königin von Saba. Kaufmann brings his signature warmth and expressive power to this repertoire, joined by soprano Nikola Hillebrand for several duets, including highlights from Kálmán’s Gräfin Mariza. The programme also shines a light on lesser‑known gems, such as Bob’s entrance aria from Jenő Huszka’s Bob herceg, offering a fresh perspective on Hungary’s rich operetta tradition. Conductor Dirk Kaftan leads the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra with deep stylistic insight, drawing on the ensemble’s innate understanding of this repertoire. The result is a vibrant, idiomatic sound world that captures both the elegance and emotional depth of this musical era. Rounding out the album are two powerful opera arias: Hazám, hazám from Ferenc Erkel’s Bánk bán and the title track Magische Töne, where Kaufmann’s mastery of delicate, high‑lying pianissimo singing brings the aria’s “magical sounds” fully to life. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46569596354716,"sku":"19958413542","price":15.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/9_44042d5e-2718-4bef-bbe4-f226e9888989.webp?v=1774279955","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/jonas-kaufmann-magische-tone-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
