Items related to Never Sang for Hitler: The Life and Times of Lotte...
Lotte Lehmann ranks among the most celebrated singers of the twentieth century. She was a favorite of Richard Strauss, and also had a famous encounter with Hermann Göring, in which he claimed to want to make her the foremost singer in Nazi Germany. By the time of her final performance in 1951, she was considered one of the finest singing actresses of all time. Rather than a traditional biography, this book is both a descriptive narrative of Lehmann's life and a critical analysis of the interconnections of the artist and society. Kater describes the varying phases of Lehmann's life, as well as the sociocultural settings in which she finds herself - whether in the Wilhemine Empire, First Austrian Republic, Nazi Germany, or the United States. Kater's use of Lehmann's personal and other papers reshapes much of what is known about her life and career.

Review:
'... it not only rivals the type of research-driven tour de force we have come to expect of Kater, but it is also a labor of love. There is no way for the author to hide his admiration for Lehmann's talent, his wonder at her larger-than-life persona, and even at times his disappointment in her professional and personal choices. Kater has once again managed to amaze us, and we can only await with eager anticipation his next magnum opus.' The Journal of Central European History
