This is a world premi?\xaere recording of the complete operetta. An operetta with musical elements of true opera, 'Jabuka' (Das Apfelfest), is Johann Strauss the Younger's fourteenth stage work. An annual Apple Festival in the Serbian town of Ravica is an opportunity for local young people to choose a partner. The girl bites an apple, gives it to her chosen boy, and if he also takes a bite, the match is made. It is against this backdrop that the impoverished noblemen, Mirko and Vasil, find a way out of their difficulties by finding rich brides at the Apple Festival of the title. With its strikingly fresh and original melodies, great ensembles and some of the finest choruses Strauss ever wrote, 'Jabuka' was a huge success at its premi?\xaere in Vienna in October 1894.

Jabuka is celebrated today

Entr'acte

You boys and servants, hey, make way

How dare you disturb us in our enjoyment

In all the land am I known

With the bad times gone

Zivio! Zivio! Make the glasses clink!

Say then

To the rescue, to the rescue, people!

See the sun flicker in splendour

What do I see?

If also luck will let us wait

In vain am I searching, abandoned in this place

Ich bin dir gut! - Johann Strauss II

Outside, outside! Closer, women and men

Zivio! - Johann Strauss II

All around there is happy dancing

Das Comitat geht in die Hoh'! - Johann Strauss II

Once upon a time, only in a fairytale

Tanze mit dem Besenstiel! - Johann Strauss II
