Beschreibung
As the title suggests, More Than Singing concerns not only music and proper
vocal techniques but also life and the transcendent power of art. Lotte
Lehmann was among the most eminent lyric-dramatic sopranos of theearly
twentieth century, especially noted for her passionate and sensitive
renderings of lieder. In this guide she distills a lifetime of work,
research, and experience into concise, revealing lessons in the
interpretation ofsongs by Schubert, Brahms, Schumann, Haydn, Beethoven,
Strauss, Mahler, Debussy, and other masters.
'Only that is convincing which is truly felt,' declares the author, and her
insightful and inspiring manual illuminatesthesubtleties of tempo, phrasing,
enunciationeven the proper pose, facial expressions, and gesturesthat enable
singers to plumb the true depths of a song and convey its deepest meanings.
Lovers of lieder will particularlyappreciate her inspired interpretations of
complete song cycles, including Schubert's Die Winterreise and Schumann's
Dichterlieber.
