Early Portrait of LeiderLike Gerry Flappers, there should be Frida Chasers, in effect, her Berlin apartment, where she and her partner lived, is now a museum maintained by some serious devotees. Leiders singing has an emotional intenseness and trueness to it, that cannot be described in words. :Frida Leider, The London Symphony Orchestra, Sir John Barbirolli – Richard Wagner: Wesendonck-LiederA No. 5 TräumeB No. 4 SchmerzenMatrix / Runout (1928-05-11): 2-043098Matrix / Runout (1931-05-18): 32-2224Great Victor Z Shellac (tiny z mark under oval VE) 12" 78rpm Condition: EXCELLENT faint scuffs, tiny rim chip NAP, small matte spotfirst 8mm of Traume does not sound, plays very quiet some ticks A GREAT COPY Biographical notes: She was born in Berlin and studied singing in her free time while working in a bank. Her tutor was Otto Schwarz. In 1915 she made her debut as Venus at the Stadttheater Halle. Her next engagement took her to Rostock in 1916, where she stayed until 1918, singing mainly Italian and Mozart roles. In 1918 she moved to the Opera House at Königsberg, and in 1920 she was engaged by the Hamburg Stadttheater. Frida made her debut there as Leonore followed by Aida. In three seasons she sang all the Wagnerian dramatic roles (!), as well as Ariadne, Donna Anna and several Italian parts. In 1921 she was contracted to the Berlin State Opera by its director and composer Max von Schillings. There, she reappeared as Leonore under Erich Kleiber. Her debut role at Covent Garden was Isolde. In 1928 she was heard at the Bayreuth Festival (Brünnhilde and Kundry). For four seasons she was a highly acclaimed artist at the Chicago Opera where she sang Brünnhilde in Walküre, Isolde, Venus, Leonore, Amelia, Kundry, The Marschallin and Mona Lisa! Eventually, Frida was immediately hired by the Met where she made her debut in 1933 as Isolde. She appeared at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires and at La Scala. In 1938 the singer’s operatic career came to a sudden end. Her non-arian husband, Rudolf Deman, violinist and leader of the Berlin State Opera Orchestra, and the singer were forced to emigrate because of the political situation in Germany. We owe it to the well-known accompanist Michael Raucheisen that her voice continued to be heard. He persuaded her to build up a song repertoire and they gave successful recitals and made fine recordings. Her last appearance was in 1946, sharing the performance with her close friend Margarete Klose . In later years she turned to opera direction, the most important achievement was a production of Tristan und Isolde in 1947, conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler. As Isolde...“Frida Leider’s Isolde has long been famous abroad. Her embodiment has been called, indeed, the greatest Isolde now on the stage ... It would be scarcely extravagant to say that Mme Leider’s Isolde is one of singular beauty and expressiveness. Her voice is a true Isolde voice... of rare loveliness and purity; and in the mezza-voce or piano passages it is often enamoring. Her sense of the stage is dignity, an elect intensity, a passion that remains patrician, that does not howl or shriek. Above all it has a deep and enlarging tenderness, a richness of feeling, and a poetry of the imagination that set it apart among Isoldes of our time ...” A critic of The New York Herald Tribune about her debut as Isolde, Covent Garden, 1933 My favorite recordings: (a small selection) - Porgi amor in German (Contessa in Le Nozze di Figaro / Mozart / Grammophon 1921) - Ozean!
