NEXT Monday will be the anniversary of the birth of Liza Lehmann (1862-1918), one of the comparatively few British women to win fame by musical composition. Madame Lehmann was a Binger and therefore knew how to write effectively for the voice, as will be amply proved in the course of tonight's programme.
