Lotte Lehmann & Her Legacy Vol. IV

Volume IV provides Lehmann master classes of art song cycles. Though there are the expected German cycles, it’s amazing to discover how much Lehmann had to offer in the world of French mélodie cycles by Berlioz, Ravel, and Fauré. There are master class songs missing from Winterriese, but Dichterliebe and others are quite complete. Remember: Lehmann taught interpretation, not vocal technique.
