Elena Gerhardt (soprano)
Angus Morrison (pianoforte)
Elena Gerhardt was born in Leipzig and in her early teens became a student at the Conservatoire there. Her great gifts attracted the attention of Nikisch, the famous conductor of the Gewandhaus concerts, and when she was eighteen he introduced her to the public in a Lieder recital at which he accompanied her at the piano. Not long afterwards Mme. Gerhardt, accompanied by Nikisch, made her debut in London, and since then, except during the war period, she has been a regular visitor.
