He made numerous recordings for major record labels, both in Europe and in the United States.Media pioneerLeonhardt's career as an artist on phonograms is perhaps even more significant than his stage career. His first recordings were made in 1900 at the Gramophone Company, for which he worked until 1905. Many of them found their way into the standard German catalog of this company. Several recordings made in Europe also appeared with the International Zonophone Company. [16] In addition, he recorded for numerous other German companies (including Favorite, Anker, Homokord, Star, etc.). [17] [18] From 1903 to 1904 he also recorded for the European branch of Columbia in Berlin. He sang several records in a duet with the soprano Gertrud Runge. [19]He sang about Edison rolls before he came to America. They were successfully marketed there, especially among German-speaking immigrants. After moving to the United States, he continued to work for Columbia, this time on records, which he sang there from 1915 to 1920. Although he was advertised with the fact that he was a member of the "Metropolitan Opera Co.", his repertoire consisted not only of opera singing, but also of numerous German folk and art songs, and like the Edison rolls, they also turned his records with the prefix “E-”, which appeared in the “ethnic” catalog of Columbia, mainly to the German-speaking population, not so much to the general public of buyers in the USA.Leonhardt's last recordings were made by Victor in Camden / New Jersey in 1920/21 and were also marketed in their ethnic series. Contents [hide] Biography[edit]Leonhardt was born in 1877[1] in Linz. His operatic debut was in 1898, in Linz.[2] For four years he found permanent employment at the German Theatre in Prague starting in 1905.[2] Specializing in Wagnerian roles,[3] he sang at Brün from 1909 to 1911, and from 1911 until 1913 with the Vienna Volksoper while also guesting with the Vienna Imperial Opera in 1909 and the Berlin Gura Summer Opera in 1910.[2] In October 1913 it was announced that Leonhardt had joined the New York Metropolitan opera.[4] Sailing from Bremen, he endured a difficult voyage before arriving in the U.S. on November 6.[5] He first appeared on stage for his new employer in December[6] in the role of Peter in Engelbert Humperdinck's opera Hänsel und Gretel.[7] Receiving critical acclaim for his work in this role,[8] he would appear in Met productions over the course of the next nine years. He was expected to appear in an expanded role at the met,[9] but world circumstances would prevent this. Beginning in December 1917 he billed himself as "Robert Leonard" to distance himself from his Germanic heritage.[10] Nevertheless Leonhardt, a citizen of Austria, was dropped by the New York Met in April 1918 because of his status as an enemy alien despite continued critical praise.[11] The opera's manager, Mr. Gatti, expressed his regret at having to make such a move. Leonhardt's wife and children resided in Vienna for the duration of the war.[12] After the war his employment recommenced with the Met and he was performing on stage again as of November 1920.[13] Here he continued to perform until shortly before his death.[14] He developed an illness that lasted for some time, and never recovered. Robert Leonhardt died at St. Mark's Hospital in New York City on February 2, 1923.[15] Performance style[edit]Reviews of Leonhard's performances are wide-ranging. He has been noted for a "dark, steely, throaty bass" with mundane performance, although this is perhaps due to Leonhard being out of his voice's comfort zone regarding range.[16] Conversely, he was noted for having a "luscious and lovely Italian voice" with a splendid, spontaneous sense of humor.[17] More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS - VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
