There are two Lehmann masterclass DVDs available from VAI that were filmed at the Music Academy of the West. Lehmann demonstrates both opera and Lieder.
We have adapted the 9-volume Lotte Lehmann & Her Legacy iBooks series to a web format for this site; three of the iBooks deal with Lehmann’s master classes: Volume 3 offers individual songs; Volume 4 provides songs from cycles; and Volume 5 includes both single opera arias and opera scenes. All the original nine volumes are still available free for download from Apple.
Her most famous students include Marilyn Horne, Grace Bumbry, Benita Valente, and Carol Neblett. She also gave private coaching to already established artists such as Rose Bampton, Eleanor Steber, Nan Merriman, Dorothy Maynor, Hilde Güden, Rita Streich, Mildred Miller, Gérard Souzay, and Risë Stevens. In addition to the famous Lehmann students mentioned above, there are many others who have enjoyed national and international careers. They include, but are not limited to: Lois Alba, Jeannine Altmeyer, Lucine Amara, Karan Armstrong, Judith Beckman(n), Lincoln Clark, William Cochran, Janice Gibson, Kay Griffel, Leslie Guinn, Raimund Herincx, Jeanette MacDonald, Lotfi Mansouri, Kay McCracken (Duke) (Ingalls), Mildred Miller, Norman Mittelmann, Thomas Moser, Maralin Niska, Katsuumi Niwa, Evangelne Noël (Glass), William Olvis, Harve(y) Presnell, Marcella Reale, Alberto Remedios, Luba Tcheresky, and Joan Winden.
