Rehkemper, Heinrich, Bariton, * 23.5.1894 Schwerte (Westfalen), † 30.12.1949 München; er wurde zuerst Maschinenbau-Techniker, studierte an den Konservatorien von Hagen (Westfalen) und Düsseldorf und an der Musikakademie von München. Bühnendebüt 1919 am Landestheater von Coburg. Dann war er 1921-24 an der Staatsoper von Stuttgart und seit 1925 an der Bayerischen Staatsoper in München engagiert. In München gehörte er zu den beliebtesten Sängern seiner Zeit. Seine großen Partien auf der Opernbühne waren der Don Giovanni, der Titelheld in »Figaros Hochzeit«, der Papageno in der »Zauberflöte«, der Wolfram im »Tannhäuser« und der Amfortas im »Parsifal«, dazu gestaltete er viele andere, sehr verschieden geartete Opernpartien. Am 12.11.1931 sang er an der Münchner Oper in der Uraufführung der Oper »Das Herz« von Hans Pfitzner. Seit 1924 trat er vor allem auch als Konzertsänger in Erscheinung. Er galt als einer der bedeutendsten Lied-Interpreten seiner Generation. Sowohl in Deutschland als im Ausland hat man seine große Kunst des Lied-Vortrages bewundert. Am 27.12.1933 wirkte er am Berliner Theater des Westens in der Uraufführung der Operette »Die lockende Flamme« von Eduard Künnecke mit. In den Jahren 1940-45 war er neben seiner Tätigkeit als Sänger auch als Pädagoge am Salzburger Mozarteum. tätig - Seine warm timbrierte, ausdrucksvolle Baritonstimme wurde auf der Bühne zumal im Mozartgesang, aber auch im italienischen und im Wagner-Repertoire geschätzt; in erster Linie war er jedoch als Liedersänger von Bedeutung.

Schallplatten auf Polydor. Auf Pearl wurde 1992 eine Aufnahme der »Kindertotenlieder« von Gustav Mahler aus dem Jahre 1928 wiederveröffentlicht.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the correct multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.75 – 5.50$

2 records: 6.50$

5 records: 8.00$

10 records: 12.00$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 35$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

One record usually ships for 25$ for 10" 25-35$ for most 12" records (Less for Canada).

For certain destinations I can get SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER rates from FedEx and the US Postal service for any kind of parcel weight, and will make use of all the cost-saving shipment methods

Pls contact me for a shipping estimate, or send me an invoice request after close of auction.
