Lotte Lehmann: Santa Barbara Farewell Recital with Gwendolyn Koldofsky (Audio Recording from 1951)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
21 .wav files of one of Lotte Lehmann's two farewell recitals from 1951. This performance took place in Santa Barbara with pianist Gwendolyn Koldofsky and was first publicly released in 1977 as a historical album with limited distribution by Canadian entrepreneur ‘Sam the Record Man’ Sam Sniderman after being unearthed by Lehmann’s former student, Katherine Duke. It is no longer commercially accessible, but a copy was found in the personal effects of Alan Smith at the University of Southern California by Elvia Puccinelli and it was digitized by David Huff, sound preservationist at the University of North Texas. It is published here in the context of the book/digital collection 'Accompaniment in America: Contextualizing Collaborative Piano' by Chanda VanderHart et al. (Routledge, 2025)
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
