Looking for Lehmann

Judy Sutcliffe and Gary Hickling will be traveling in Germany and Austria May 15-31, looking for material for the Lehmann Archives.

"It is an exciting prospect to try to find in Europe Lehmann-related items to enhance the atready prestigious collection at UCSB," says Gary Hickling, Lehmann discographer. "There may be radio, master class and interview material which the Archives does not have. We will also be seeking copies of the many Lehmann Centennial tributes aired on German and Austrian radio and TV last year.

"We also want to have a look at recording archives and radio vaults in the slim chance that there might be original metal masters that were never released, as well as acetates, wire or tape recordings and rare 78 rpms.

"We'll also be looking for non-aural Lehmann items." says Hickling. "Photos and negatives, letters, programs, reviews and other articles will all be useful in preserving the Lehmann legacy." If you have friends or colleagues in Germany/Austria who you believe could be helpful, please write as soon as possible to Gary Hickling, 161B N. Kalaheo Ave., Kailua, HI 96734.
