Heinrich Schlusnus & Lotte Lehmann, Duets from three Mozart Operas (DG, 1920)

Two great German singers from the interwar years, baritone Heinrich Schlusnus (1888-1952) and Lotte Lehmann (1888-1976) in duets from three Mozart operas:
(1) "Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen" (Papageno & Pamina) from Act 1 of Die Zauberflöte;
(2) "Crudel! Perchè finora" (Count Almaviva & Susanna)
from Act 3 of Le Nozze di Figaro (sung in German);
(3) " Là ci darem la mano" (Don Juan & Zerlina) from Act 1 of Don Giovanni
(sung in German)

All three were recorded in 1920 for Deutsche Grammophon.

Neben diesem wunderbaren Bariton von Schlusnus kommt die herrliche Stimme von

der Lehmann voll zur Geltung.

Fine, lovely performances by two outstanding artists. Lehmann's voice, beautiful, unique, so identifiable. Thank you, Tim! 

[SuperLuckydream]

A fine duet! These wonderful voices seem to know no limitations. But they are both delicate, as Mozart music demands. Great musical culture. Thank you, dear Tim.

[Bivolari]

Wonderful duet singing from two master singers. Their styles are in complete sync. Schlusnus is a pleasure to listen to. Lehmann is a delight in repertoire not associated with her.

Would have loved to have heard Ms Lehmann as Pamina . . . not a role one associates her with.

It would be hard to find two more elegant and delightful singers to pair up in Mozart duets. Within this repertoire, it doesn't really get any better than this, does it?
