Tenors of the 78 Era, Part 1
See Stefan Zucker discuss Slezak and Schmidt. The clips are from the 13-part series The Tenors of the 78 Era (Die Tenöre der Schellackzeit). The DVDs are out of print. The films originally were shown on Germany’s ARD network (and ultimately were seen in 48 countries). Because my German grammar is faulty I was reluctant to discuss the tenors in that language, so the director, Jan Schmidt-Garre, encouraged me to sprinkle in some German words: "Nachklang” means “echo” and “vorne” means “forward” (as in "forward placement”). I don’t discuss Slezak or Schmidt in Franco Corelli and a Revolution in Singing: Fifty-Four Tenors Spanning 200 Years, so I thought some of my observations about them might be of interest.—Stefan Zucker
