Peter Anders

Anders excelled in opera, operetta, and lieder, now his whole-hearted however, not schmaltzy shows of Lehar and Johann Strauss, Jr. are believed among the better on record. While his primary repertoire was German, and his design was decidedly even more German than Italianate (specifically as opposed to the current design of Italian performing, as exemplified by Gigli), he made an appearance in the primary Italian repertoire aswell. He previously a fantastic technique, the capability to performing whatsoever dynamics, including a perfect pianissimo, and an all natural feeling of phrasing, though many listeners discovered his voice even more right than passionate. Anders analyzed in the Berlin Academy, and later on with Lula Mysz-Gmeiner. His stage debut is at the chorus in Reinhardt’s La belle Hélène in Berlin, and after his single debut another year in the Heidelburg opera home, he started to increase his profession throughout Germany. He made an appearance in the globe premiere of Richard Strauss’ Friedenstag in 1938. In 1948, Anders became a member of the Hamburg Opera and there started to transfer to the heavier German repertoire, such as for example Bacchus in Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos and Siegmund in Wagner’s Die Walkure. In these functions, however, his performing seemed relatively strained. He passed away in an car accident in Hamburg.
