In her early days Liza Lehmann was a concert-singer and one of the most popular artists of that day. She first appeared at a Monday Popular Concert in 1885, and for the next nine years she sang often, coming naturally into contact with Clara Schumann , Joachim and others, from whom she received the greatest encouragement. She retired from the Concert platform in 1894 on her marriage to the composer Herbert Bedford. From that date, till her death in 1918, she devoted herself to composition, producing one after another the song-cycles In a Persian Garden, The Daisy Chain and others. All of these are still very popular, and she may be said to have started with them the vogue of the Eong-cycle in this country. Sir Thomas Beecham produced her stage setting of Everyman in 1910, while ten years before, a romantic light opera, The Viear of Wakefielil, had a successful run. Liza Lohmann came of an artistic family ; her father was Rudolf Lehmann , the painter, her mother, the ' A. L.' who, as composer and arranger, so often figures in broadcast programmes, and her' grandfather, Robert Chambers of Edinburgh. a member of the well-known firm of publishers.
