Heinrich SCHLUSNUS (Baritone): RARE signed photo!A very rare signed photograph of the great baritone. Signed boldly across the image and dated 1934. Schlusnus, Heinrich (b Braubach, 6 Aug 1888; d Frankfurt, 18 June 1952). German baritone. He trained as a postal official but also studied singing in Frankfurt and made a successful début at Hamburg in 1915 as the Herald in Lohengrin. He sang at the Nuremberg Stadttheater (1915-17), then at the Berlin Staatsoper (1917-45), becoming their leading Verdi baritone. In 1932 he sang Guy de Montfort at the Berlin première of Les vêpres siciliennes, a role particularly suited to his ease of production over an extensive range. He toured extensively, to Amsterdam (1919), Barcelona (1922), Chicago (Wolfram, 1927) and Bayreuth (Amfortas, 1933). His voice, particularly easy in the high register, was steady and smooth, his style economical. Besides excelling in opera he was an outstanding lieder singer. His recordings are extensive.
