Lotte Lehmann - various
Музыка
Musical excerpts from a feature film Lehmann made in 1948. Not included is Lehmann leading the entire cast in God Bless America. She had a major part in this very sentimental film. She played a Jewish mother which was quite a feat because she was not domestic at all. Her acting is quite good. Unfortunately the musical excerpts are very short. Full length versions of the songs from the film were issued by RCA. The only opportunity to see her sing while she was still performing. She retired 3 years later.

another world. how beautiful and full of heart and trusting in the good of people. what a great voice. the arts have no champions in these days. every life should know this type of music.
A brilliant singer in the best tradition.There were few indeed any better than her on a given day.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a nice voice of Lotte in this lullaby and later in the songs. Quite good actress. It was very interesting for me, thanks.
Just Amazing!!!
Quel ambiance! D'autrefois... J'adore
She was simply a very great singer. All the finest conductors knew it as did the critics. It really didn't matter what her technical shortcomings were, she transcended them and mesmerized her audience.
simply greatest
Brilliant!TY
@dynamicstuff73 You are absolutely correct. No one today knows how to sing with spontaneity and brilliance anymore because the vocal teachers do not have any comprehension about the Art of Singing
Well said. The operatic stage of today is bereft of this kind of warmth and brilliance. Sad indeed, that most singers of today are only pale imitations of what was.
Yes, I have the the 2 VAI master class videos. They're awesome. But this little snipit is all we have of her during her singing career.
I frwaking love this. this lady is sooo amazing. she rocks.
The expression in her face, alone, is worth watching in this video excerpt but, as I just saw this for the first time last night on TCM, I am awestruck by the beauty and power of her voice. Amazing!
C.W,thank you for this true gem.I wrote a review on this gem on page 2- 10 months ago. L.L.was one of my all time favourite singers, as well as a fine person.
Even in the Master Classes in the 1960's there was no wobble despite the loss of the high notes.
Couldn't agree with you more. If you want to see a good example of bad set/costumes and sumptuous singing, watch Tucker-Stevens-Merrill-Peters Rigoletto Quartett - it is a treat and everyone seems to really enjoy themselves and each other.
Even Walter Legge ordered Schwarzkopf to listen and learn from Lehmann's records.
Born in 1888.
796824 Absolutely- today they try to ttick us with visual gimics. Lehman need only her glorius voice and dramatic singing.
I have read the following negative remarks about Lehmann- Poor breath - short top and not stylistically in Italian aria. Her rcording of Visi d'Arte is tremendous emotionally. Regarding her other flaws- she must have been a magician because they seem dissapear> The quality of her voice with that sensual throb and her magnificent colume and rhythmic varities makes her IMO one ot the all time vocal artist,
True! and Schwarzkopf did it so well that she soon became the best....
