From the time of her debut in 1910 to her farewell recital in 1951 (available on VAI CD VAIA 1038) Lotte Lehmann (1888-1976) was recognized as a supreme singing actress and recitalist. After her retirement from the stage, Lehmann began teaching master classes in interpretation at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, California. Filmed in July 1961, the legendary soprano coaches 15 students, offering fascinating insights into Lieder of Brahms, Schubert, Schumann, and Wolf.

  • Thomas Mann nannte die Lehmann in einem Brief "Liebe Frau Sonne"! Das trifft's!!!! Welch eine gütige und herzliche Person. Und welch eine wunderbare Künstlerin: Es gibt einen Ausschnitt mit ihr als Straussens Ariadne. So schön und schwungvoll hat das nach ihr keine gesungen.

  • Which just goes to show. You can sing as pretty as you like but if there is no intellect, spirit, emotion and experience behind it then it's not worth much.

  • Well, I am germann and I love this song so much, it reminded me of my Grandfahter how he must have felt when he met and marrfied my grandmother. Well. I decided to write a third verse with a happy ending. Hier it is:

    "Nun ist sie hier mit mir am Sonntag.

    Vor dem Altar da stehen wir.

    Ich kann es noch nicht fassen.

    Wie sie stehet neben mir.

    Das tausend schoene Jungfraeulein.

    das tausend schoene Herzelein.

    wollte Gott, wollte Gott

    Waer ich heut nicht bei ihr....

    "

  • ist das der sinn einer meisterklasse, sich als lehrer noch derart profilieren zu müssen. peinlich.

  • @cosmokronos Sonntag, by Brahms

  • Who is this class for ?? the student or the professional who has the ego to tell the student I can sing it better. Where is the teaching and the learning.

  • @gepopo1

    Das ist wirklich ein wunderschöner Vergleich von Thomas Mann. Wenn man die Lehmann so viele Jahre nach ihrem Tod sieht oder auch nur sprechen hört, spürt man immer noch diese GANZ besondere Ausstrahlung..

  • @pianomags Lehmann was huge on getting her pupils to find their own voice/ originality, in theory anyway. I speculate that she just couldn't resist singing, in this instance.

  • LOTTE LEHMANN - Unvergessen,unverwechselbar.

    Eine der unsterblichen Stimmen am Opernhimmel die dank der Tonträger der Welt für immer erhalten bleibt !1

  • écouter en fermant les yeux, la première chante joli, mais le professeur nous raconte une vraie histoire , notre temps s'arrète nous entrons de l'autre coté du miroir,elle y entraine son élève qui s'en trouve grandie....n'est-il pas?

  • I agree, I don't think it was done to humiliate her though and things have moved on in a lot of masterclass workshops... but not in all, regrettably :)

  • REALLY GOOD.

    But bad for masterclass. This is humiliating for the student. Lehmann didn't give any advice- just showed her how to do it. I think she had to make her understand and not make her just copy.
