Brown authors ‘Lotte
Lehmann in America’
BOLIVAR, Mo. — Dr. Kathy Brown, professor of music at Southwest Baptist
University, has written “Lotte Lehmann in America,” published by The College
Music Society as a part of the series Monographs and Bibliographies in American Music.
Lehmann, a German-born
soprano, added the role of teacher to her accomplishments in the opera house
and on the recital stage in post-World War II America. She disclosed to
aspiring singers insights regarding interpretation, information that was
gleaned from recordings and transcripts held at the University of
California-Santa Barbara.
Dr. Brown also provides an
overview of Lehmann’s career, an account of her work with the Music Academy of
the West, an assortment of the singer’s own translations and reproductions of
her paintings based on the lieder of Schubert and Schumann.
The book is available for
purchase at www.music.org.
