Thank you so much for sharing this precious recording! It is astonishing that no biographical data are available about Maria Riener. The only trace of her I found was a photo from Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung from May, 1937. She is being referred to as an actress and opera singer, performing Kaiserin Katharina in the homonymous operetta composed by Rudolf Kattnigg (1895-1955) at Theater im Admiralspalast Berlin. I am not sure about the recording year; I am only aware of the 1938 issue on Polydor (47217).

I was thinking that the help would be coming from you, Patrick - and again it was realised - great thanks for your attention !
@@jerzyplaczkiewicz555 So welcome! Still, I wish i could have found more information. After all, it is very, very scarce.
