Elizabeth Schwarzkopf Sings “Meine Lippen sie küssen so heiss“ From Lehár’s Giuditta

Giuditta (1934) was written for Jarmila Novotna and Richard Tauber. It’s a rather sad and dreary story of a woman who abandons her husband and follows a soldier, only to end up loveless and disillusioned as a nightclub dancer in a shady club in North Africa. This song, however, has proved to be a concert favorite.
