The following information is from a 33 1/3 double record album by the Robert Shaw Chorale I have in my record collection. Its copyright is 1963 by the Record Corporation of America (RCA, now BMG). The Franz Lehar song "Yours Is My Heart Alone" is the featured song, and the album derives its title from THAT song. The double album also includes the choral version of Lehar's "Merry Widow Waltz," entitled "I Love You So." The choral versions of these songs are beautiful. Robert Russell Bennett, the Broadway arranger, did the liner notes for these songs. In addition, separate from the Shaw choral versions, Placido Domingo, one of the "Three Tenors," also sang "Yours Is My Heart Alone," in the German, "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz," on a CD with (I think) the other two tenors.Henry45850 (talk) 02:32, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

You failed to mention the 1967 recording done in Canada with the incomparable Giuseppe di Stefano as Sou Chong and Dagmar Koller as Lisa. An excellent recording that deserves some recognition 2001:569:FE21:B800:795A:7044:505B:A14 (talk) 20:03, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
