Lotte Lehmann & Her Legacy
Volume 1
By Gary Hickling
Before the preliminary material (Introduction, etc.) you can view Lehmann on her 1937 Australian tour singing to a Kookaburra.
The Introduction is focused on how to use the various aspects of the iBook that you don’t need to know in the website version. Here’s the opening paragraph: Lotte Lehmann’s legacy in recordings, films, and writing offers as much fascination now as many years ago, and it’s a joy to discover how today’s technology allows easy access to all of that. It is my privilege to meld pieces of her legacy into its own art form, a celebration I hope worthy of her charisma and creativity.
