Lotte Lehmann & Her Legacy

With more than 150 audio and video excerpts, this presentation offers an interactive way to get to know the voice, personality, and teaching of Lotte Lehmann (1888-1976), one of the greatest singers of the 20th century. Her amazing breadth of activity is covered: her arias, her Lieder, her artwork, her writing, and her poetry. There’s a short bio and a complete Winterreise that allows you to see her drawings, hear her read the poetry,  listen to her sing, and hear her teach master classes of each song. There’s a whole chapter on her teaching: some of her master classes in video and audio formats as well as audios of many of her students. You can hear how Lehmann’s recordings compare to her contemporaries in the Comparisons chapter. Early Recordings allows you to discover how recordings were made, even before microphones. And you’ll find exclusive Lehmann photos, and seven audio tracks not heard since she sang them.
