Frida Leider, the greatest Wagnerian soprano of the pre-war period,
has a permanent place in operatic history. In this, her own
memoirs, Leider recreates the fascinating operatic world of her
day, and recounts her association with Bruno Walter, Wilhelm
Furtwangler, Lauritz Melchior, Lotte Lehmann, Maria Jeritza,
Elisabeth Schumann, Erich Kleiber, as well as many other great
musical figures of the twentieth century. Leider's story embraces
her entire career from her childhood in Berlin at the turn of the
century, through her apprentice years in the provincial German
opera houses, to her years of international triumph when she was
acclaimed at Covent Garden, Bayreuth, the Berlin State Opera and
the Metropolitan Opera. Her account of musical life in Nazi Germany
adds yet another dimension to an autoEdition Biography which, by
virtue of its charm and warmth, is already far removed from more
conventional operatic memoirs.
