Commercial Recordings
001-002
Pathé, Berlin
Two acoustic, single-sided, center start, etched label discs made in Berlin in 1914, possibly 87 rpm, 11 1/2″, entitled “Lotte Lehmann, Stadt-theater Hamburg.” No orchestra or conductor is known. The matrix is followed by catalogue numbers and the LP reference. The LP reference numbers can be found at the end of the discography.
1914
001 LOHENGRIN: Einsam in trüben Tagen (Wagner); 55978; 42048, (14): RA-1110; coupling 5844; LP: 54.
002 LOHENGRIN: Euch Lüften, die mein Klagen; 55979; 42048, (14): RA-1008; coupling 5844; LP: 54.
003-048
GRAMMOPHONE/POLYDOR, Berlin
Approved for registration or issue from December 1916 to early 1921, the individual dating is only approximate. The RPM varies from 78-80. These acoustic recordings also appeared on the Vocalion label and are so listed when this occurred. Orchestras and conductors aren’t known. The matrix is followed by three catalogue numbers: 1) 12″ single-sided, which begin with 76, or 12″ double-sided, which begin with 72; 2) 10″ single-sided, which begin with 74, or 10″ double-sided which begin with 70 or 80; and 3) the international catalogue number begins with 040 or numbers prefixed with “B”. Juynboll states: “Some titles were recorded twice or three times during the same recording session. Each recording of the same title bearing the same matrix number is technically known as a “take”. Take 1 is the initial recording, the repeat would be take 2, a second repeat take 3, and so on. A later take could be made at a subsequent session….” Juynboll also states that the L or m at the end of the matrix numbers denotes that the recording engineer was Franz Hampe. As I understand it, at this point in the history of recordings the “1/2” referred to that rare second take. References to “J.” means to Floris Juynboll.

049-080
Odeon
Acoustic 12″ recordings made from 1924-1925. The matrix is followed by the single sided, (Lxx or Rxx), then the double-sided catalogue numbers (prefixed with an O-). J. says that the O-9500 series did not come into use until the end of 1926. The rpm’s vary from 72-80. Again, orchestra data is questionable (J. assigns orchestras and conductors; see below). More information provided by J.: “…Odeon required their artists to make at least two recordings (i.e. takes 1 and 2) of every title, and this is the reason why some copies of an issued title show that it was pressed from take 1, while other copies show take 2, and why this occurred so frequently.”
Remember that information (on composers, dates, accompanying orchestras etc.) often obtains until the next such information occurs.

Odeon (Electric)
Berlin; 1927-1933. The first number is the matrix “xxB” for 12″ (the O-8700 and up) & “Be” for 10″ (O-4800 and up), this is followed by the catalogue number. Thereafter: 1) English Parlophone (R 20000 and up which are 12″ and RO 20000 and up which are 10″; Parlophone historic reissues are prefixed PXO for 12″ and PO for 10″) Other affiliated labels include: 2) American Columbia 3) American Decca 4) French Odeon 5) Austrian Odeon 6) Italian 7) Argentinian 8)Australian (sic) Parlophone (AR). If a number, followed by a bracket, does not appear, it means that no release under that label is known. The speed varies from 75 to 80 RPM, but usually is 78 RPM. The “Berlin State Opera Orchestra” often means “members” of that group. These ensembles in general often received varying titles.

In the next series the (res) means reserved or held by the factory as “useable” should some accident befall the original plate during processing. Sometimes an accident did happen, so that later editions of a set might contain certain takes “reserved” at the start. Or an approved “reserve” take might be shipped to a different factory, which is why sometimes different “takes” are found on different labels.

Non-Commerical Recordings I
422-474
This section contains a mixture of private recordings of live performances, “air-checks”, tapes of radio and tv performances, film and video documentation of Lehmann’s work. The dating is often only approximate (especially with radio broadcasts which may have been recorded and broadcast later) and the contents, especially of the master-classes, is open to conjecture. Also with master-classes, how much is there of Lehmann “demonstrating” and teaching, and how much of students’ efforts? She usually introduces the aria by telling some of the story; she recites the Lied in English. During the class she interrupts to make suggestions & comments. If no LP format exists, there follows a possible location of an acetate, tape or cassette. The Lotte Lehmann Archive at UCSB has many listings unless another location is indicated.
In the non-commercial section, unless otherwise stated, the speaking is in English. The location of unique items not held by the University of California at Santa Barbara, (if not 78s, then as LPs or tapes), will be evident in the listing.

Arturo Toscanini broadcast on “Cadillac Hour”; Broadcast; LP: none; Rodgers & Hammerstein Record Sound Archive is supposed to have the complete Toscanini recordings, but as of October 2000 we have been unable to locate it.

428 Broadcast: a)LOHENGRIN: Einsam in trüben Tagen (Wagner) b)Wiegenlied (R. Strauss); 24 Nov. ’35; RCA Magic Key; NBC Orchestra; c. Frank Black; LP: none; LOC; Since this isn’t a recording made to fit onto a limited 78rpm format, we hear the orchestra introduction and a measured performance by Lehmann of the LOHENGRIN aria. Though there’s surface noise, the dynamic range is well captured, as is Lehmann’s dramatic nuance; As part of the introduction of the Lied, the announcer quotes someone: “It was for such singers as Lotte Lehmann that Lieder were written.” The Strauss suffers because of the orchestra accompaniment. Lehmann takes a breath before the last not “singt” and there’s a break in the recording before the last verse.Still, it’s the only Lehmann performance of this Lied that we have.

Tilly Zweig; concluding remarks by Lehmann, who says that such farewell speeches are depressing; may sit in an audience and applaud one or another of these students and think “now this is too much Lotte Lehmann”. They should kill that and let their own interpretations come through; the imagination should be given freedom and they should be sincere. Everyone approaches things from their own point of view…if you feel something strongly, do it!

Traüme (Wagner); Lehmann forget the opening words (rare occasion!) & is prompted by the student, “shows” introduction, some singing demonstration as well as explanation: the singer should not be thinking “I hope I will sing this song right”, it will show on the face; Allnächtlich in Träume (Schumann); demonstration, not so quiet, full of breath, unfulfilled, first thought to throw myself at your feeth, then tears from the eyes give a different expression, then the loved one gives a bouquet of cypress (instead of roses) & there’s astonishment & disappointment, demonstration of the need to use the eyes while singing; Nun hast du mir… (Schumann); Lehmann says that this is one of the few places where she recommends a slide (to–des Schlaf), not too much reproach, talks of the importance of the first chord for setting the mood of the whole song, wait for the dissonant chord at “die Welt ist leer”, her life has slipped away though her hands she can demonstrate this at the end of the song; difference between the position of the hands which receive and that which shows that she has nothing more to wish for, but each singer must find her own way of showing this; Brauner Bursche führt zum Tanze (Brahms); accent the “rr’s”; sing second verse differently; the three coins that are tossed are perhaps a grand gesture where only one was expected; short demonstrations; Geheimes (Schubert); asks that the audience understands that the singer is amused that others see something different in the lover’s actions; short demonstration; O wüsst ich doch den Weg zurück (Brahms); Lehmann hopes for a really beautiful “piano” from this student who has trouble controling a large voice; p.

471.1 Master class at MAW; 13 Aug. ’53; FIDELIO: Komm Hoffnung (Beethoven); Shirley Sproule (student); Lehmann goes to considerable lengths to set the scene; demonstrates how to say the word “abscheulicher”, change the face to reflect that only love and belief that she’ll save Florestan, with “komm’ Hoffnung more emotion, conviction & voice, fanaticism, inner strength, above human strength, recommends a breath before “dringen”.

510 Master class at NWU; 1 May ’67; Die schöne Müllerin (except # 10 & # 17) Schubert, p. Laurence Davis. Lehmann begins by saying that she is really too old for this and says each year that she won’t return, but then Spring returns and her hobbies don’t seem enough and wants to return to her own world of singing. Since she can’t sing any more, she sings with the voices of her students. She’s sure to hear beautiful voices, so she will sing beautifully. Talks about growing up in Perleberg. The house in which she lived was near the road to Hamburg. She saw apprentices passing her house on their way to a new master. They carried a sign to show what their trade was. She only remembers now that the millers wore white caps. And she connects this with the boy who goes through this whole cycle, who she likes especially. He is a poetic, sensitve, not rough. She saw the different types pass and her mother gave them something to eat, though they weren’t at all beggers. Lehmann chooses to omit the thrid verse saying that one doesn’t need to talk about the mill wheels. #1. Soprano student, Margaret Innes (?) sings it too stacatto according to Lehmann. The diction is good, but remeber that music doesn’t walk, it flows. #2. Lehamnn provides a fine translation and commentary, including the fatefull, mysterious quality inherent in the brook. Tenor student, Kenneth Eitzen (?) is told on “ich weiss nicht wie mir würde” something strange has happened to me and again not stacatto. Advice given on the hands…not to distract from the singing. And not too gay…this boy is different from the other boys. “Why have I to follow this brook?” #3. Again, more than a translation, a real setting of the story. Baritone Ronald Cooms (?) is instructed to sing “Ay Bächlein” in not so harsh a way, more thankful and with more warmth. #4. The story is followed by the singing of Elisa Roth, soprano, who is told to sing it mezzo forte, no great climax…see the sensitive boy; the student is singing too “vocal” want to show the voice, which isn’t appropriate here. A half voice is better. If you talk about a very great love you will talk about it in a gentle, overwhelmed sound. #5. Paul Loomis
