Lotte Lehmann: Santa Barbara Farewell Recital with Gwendolyn Koldofsky (Audio Recording from 1951)

21 .wav files of one of Lotte Lehmann's two farewell recitals from 1951. This performance took place in Santa Barbara with pianist Gwendolyn Koldofsky and was first publicly released in 1977 as a historical album with limited distribution by Canadian entrepreneur ‘Sam the Record Man’ Sam Sniderman after being unearthed by Lehmann’s former student, Katherine Duke. It is no longer commercially accessible, but a copy was found in the personal effects of Alan Smith at the University of Southern California by Elvia Puccinelli and it was digitized by David Huff, sound preservationist at the University of North Texas. It is published here in the context of the book/digital collection 'Accompaniment in America: Contextualizing Collaborative Piano' by Chanda VanderHart et al. (Routledge, 2025)
