Andrew Lamb - 150 Years of Popular Musical Theatre 2000 0300075383 Page 230 "Most successful was Die ungarische Hochzeit, about a Hungarian Count's attempt to organise brides for a group of settlers. Soprano number Spiel mir das Lied von Gluck und Treu has helped keep Dostal's name in international circulation."
