"Lehmann is very musical and a hard worker but she has such a weak voice that one can never make use of her for great roles" thus spoke Richard Genee, the great conductor, to Emil Fischer, head of the Danzig opera when the latter was thinking of engaging Lilli Lehmann. Years later Genee came to Lehmann and humbly asked her forgiveness for his error of judgment. Then she controlled one of the most dramatic, heroic, and glorious sopranos ever heard, singing Isolde and Brunhilde again and again as no one else ever did.
