Richard Tauber, born in Linz in 1891, was one of the most celebrated tenors of his era, captivating audiences across Europe and America with his operatic and operetta performances. Renowned for his role in Mozart's 'Don Giovanni', Tauber's lyrical tenor voice was a highlight of pre-war Vienna's operetta scene. His fame led to a prolific recording career, showcasing his versatility in both German folk settings and classical Lieder by composers such as Mendelssohn and Schubert.
