When court opera director Wilhelm Jahn gave the by no means unpretentious Johann Strauss II the commission for a “real” opera, he gladly accepted. This is how Ritter Pásmán came about, a work that the waltz king himself regarded as his only work in this genre – although the plot is basically quite operetta-like. It was based on the story Pázmán lovag by the Hungarian poet János Aranyi (1817-1882). It is about jealousy and a “like-you-like-me”. The premiere of the comic opera on New Year’s Day 1892 at the Vienna Court Opera was a major social event to which artistic success lagged somewhat behind. Reviewers of the premiere were distant about the work; on the other hand, they unanimously elevated the ballet music at the beginning of the third act to the rank of an absolute masterpiece. (Incidentally, this was the first time a cymbal was heard in the Court Opera orchestra)

The three ballet scores are included as bonus tracks.
