Charles Kullman (1903-1983) was an American tenor, also billed as Charles Kullmann. He sang at the Metropolitan Opera and in Europe, and was valued in both opera and concert repertory.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Bruno Walter’s Das Lied von der Erde and Toscanini’s Beethoven Ninth, among other major performances.

Kullman’s singing was lyric, clear and musically disciplined, with the line and diction needed for Mahler, Beethoven and German-language repertory. He brought elegance rather than excess.

His catalogue presence is historically substantial. Kullman was one of the American tenors who helped carry central European concert music into the recorded age.
