About This Item
[New York], nd. Very good +. 24 cm b&w photos on 38 cm cardboard. Each photo signed on bottom corner by Blechman.
Povla Frijsh 91881-1960) was a Danish classical soprano and voice teacher, chosen by Gustav Mahler to sing in his Second Symphony in Cologne in 1910. Frijsh made her American debut in New York in 1915 and gave annual recitals there until 1947 when she retired from singing after 49 years. Her complete recordings are on CD. Acording to a 1940 New York Evening Sun article, she was "one of the most satisfying singers of song of our time." She was also gorgeous as these photos indicate. Photographer Blechman (1922-2010) took shots of many theatre artists, dancers and society mavens in mid-20th century New York. His archives are at the City Museum of New York.
