Paul Althouse was an American tenor, active at the Metropolitan Opera and in concert repertory. He was especially associated with Wagner and large-scale dramatic works.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Stokowski’s 1932 performance of Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder, with Philadelphia Orchestra and choral forces.

Althouse’s singing brought the heroic projection and steadiness needed for Schoenberg’s vast late-Romantic canvas.

His page is justified by career standing and catalogue context. Althouse gives the Stokowski-Schoenberg shelf a strong American tenor line.
