Lehmann CDs

The Lohengrin CD with Lehmann & Melchior mentioned in the last Newsletter is available from Qualiton Importers Ltd Phone: (718) 937-8515 and ask to speak to Cuscomer Service.

Another Der Rosenkavalier CD has been released: Pearl Gemm CDS 9365. With no access to original metal masters, this company has presented a CD version of the 78s of the famous 1933 recording. An earlier recording on Odeon of O sei er gut... die Zeit die ist ein sonderbar Ding (which was omitted from the HMV production) is included. The final section of this generous double disc is filled with excerpts from historic records of other Strauss operas. It is also available from Qualiton. We have yet to find a source for the Références CD in the US.
