Heinrich Tessmer was a German tenor represented in the Pristine catalogue through early Wagner recordings, including The Potted Ring and related 1920s and 1930s material.

His catalogue appearances place him among singers such as Lauritz Melchior, Friedrich Schorr, Florence Easton and Rudolf Bockelmann in historic Wagner excerpts.

Because wider public biographical detail is limited, this note is kept close to the recording evidence. The value lies in making the early Wagner cast-list more navigable.

This page gives a securely identified singer a modest marker in Pristine’s early Wagner strand.
