Fritz Lehmann (1904-1956) was a German conductor, active in opera, choral music and symphonic repertory. His career was cut short by his sudden death while conducting Bach’s St Matthew Passion.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears with Enrico Mainardi in Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Lehmann’s conducting was grounded in the central German tradition, with particular strength in large choral and classical repertory. His recorded legacy preserves a serious, well-schooled musician.

His page is justified by wider standing and by the quality of the catalogue company. Lehmann gives this Dvořák recording a firm German podium.
