DOCUMENTARY ON LEHMANN
A two part Lehmann Documentary, funded in part by a grant from the Lotte Lehmann Foundation, was prepared for Chicago's WFMT and broadcast during 2006 to mark the 30th anniversary of Lehmann's death. Writer / producer Jon Tolansky interviewed Lehmann students and colleagues and included many rare recordings and masterclasses. You may hear the first hour, which features Lehmann's opera recordings, or the second hour, with more focus on Lieder.
