Lula Mysz-Gmeiner - Der Nussbaum (Schumann)

with Julius Dahlke (piano).
Polydor master 648 br, rec. Berlin, 1928.
Mezzo Lula Gmeiner (1876-1848) was born into a highly musical family: Both her sister Ella and her brother Rudolf were successful concert singers, and her younger sister Luise was a respected pianist. After first lessons in her native Kronstadt (today Braşov) she studied with Gustav Walter in Vienna, moving on to Berlin in 1896 for further studies with Emilie Herzog, Etelka Gerster and (thanks to an introduction by Johannes Brahms) Lilli Lehmann. She made her debut as an oratorio singer in Berlin in November 1896, and finally gave her first solo recital in 1899, which created a sensation. The following year she married Austrian naval officer Ernst Mysz, who must have been quite an unusual character: scandalous as this might have seemed at the time, he made no attempts to put an end to the fledgeling career of his wife, but encouraged her to expand her work, which she did with remarkable success. Although she was much in demand all over Europe and North America during the next decades, she still took a sabbatical year in 1911/2 for further studies with Raimund von zur Mühlen in London. In 1920 she was made a professor at the State Univerity of Music in Berlin, where she taught for almost three decades. Two of her most famous pupils were Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Peter Anders (who also married her daughter).
